      7x Table Answer Sheet<\/a><\/p>\n

      Times tables can be tricky. It isn’t always easy to ask an adult if you are unsure as so many of them are working form home themselves also.<\/p>\n

      I have a task which will help you to learn your tables and to become more independent should you need help. Select a table (or more than one) that you find tricky. For those of you who are confident in tables to 10x, select the 11x or 12x table.<\/p>\n

      Look at the picture below and create your own table-checker! Genius!<\/p>\n
