Mastering the 8s: The Strength of Eights
The 8s follow a powerful even-number pattern. Think of them as "Double, Double, Double!" Mastering up to $8 \times 8$ (64) is a huge achievement in elementary math.
🎮 How to Play
You're almost at the finish line! Use the 8s level to bridge the gap between simple counting and advanced number recall.
Round 1: Sequence Success
Drag the answers in their natural order. Notice how the numbers grow quickly—8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64!
Round 2: Shuffled Focus
Don't let the mix-up stop you. Drag each answer block to the correct 8s equation to lock in your memory for good.
About This Memory Game
Our Scaffolded Multiplication Game helps students see the power of doubling patterns in the 8 times table. By focusing on $8 \times 1$ through $8 \times 8$, students build a strong foundation for more advanced multiplication concepts. The 8s table demonstrates how mathematical patterns build upon each other, creating a deep understanding of number relationships.
Learn the 8 Times Table
The 8 times table builds on doubling strategies and often follows the
4 times table,
which in turn builds on the
2 times table.
This progressive learning path helps students see how multiplication facts are interconnected.
The 8 times table builds on doubling strategies and helps students see deeper number relationships.
It often feels difficult at first, but patterns appear with practice.
What Is the 8 Times Table?
The 8 times table shows the result of multiplying numbers by 8.
For example:
8 × 1 = 8
8 × 2 = 16
8 × 3 = 24
Many students notice that doubling three times leads to the same answers.
Why the 8 Times Table Is Important
Learning the 8 times table helps students:
- Understand advanced patterns
- Prepare for larger multiplication facts
- Improve number flexibility
It also supports learning in geometry and measurement.
Game-Based Practice
This game helps students explore the 8 times table through repetition and discovery.
Students can:
- Build accuracy over time
- Learn patterns naturally
- Practice independently
Learning Tips
- Use doubling strategies
- Practice consistently
- Focus on understanding, not memorization alone
Students who understand the 8 times table usually have a strong foundation for higher multiplication.
This knowledge prepares them for more advanced math including the
9 times table.
