This is The Number Six speaking. I am playing the role of one of THE LUNA BROTHERS in Mrs Noughtfear's Number Story as the L in QUEENSLAND. I love to play hide and seek all the time. I am The Little Bee who is usually missing in Queensland. The Bad Threes hide me in The Pear Trees and Nineapple Pineapple has to find me. It's a number game to numerically enlighten the world.
Now you can learn the Six Times Table over six years at Pimary School from your teacher or you can cheat by becoming a Times Table Teacher before you know them. You can learn by teaching what you don't know. Sound like cheating? Don't worry about it. Now down to the Six Times Table. Develop your own method or use my suggestion:
Make 9 square cards like this:
06 12 18
24 30 36
42 48 54
Then place the 6 down and say 6 sixes are 36 as you place 36. Point out that 6 squared is 36. 06
36
Then say if 6 sixes are 36, 5 sixes must be 36 with the 6 taken away, and place 30 like so:
06
30 36
Then say if 1 six is 6, 2 sixes must be double that. Layout 6 of anything in a row and place another 6 things below and notice that they count to 12 things altogether. Then place the 12 like so:
06 12
30 36
Then say 2 sixes are12 and notice below there are 5 sixes below which equal 30. Add the 2 sixes to the 5 sixes and say 7 sixes are 42 as you place the 42 in the bottom left corner. Then say 42 backwards is 24 which is 4 sixes as you place 24 above 42 like so:
06 12
24 30 36
42
Then say if 2 sixes are twelve, I wonder what 3 sixes are? Get a dozen rotten eggs and half a dozen rotten eggs. Count as you break them open and notice that there are now 18 broken rotten eggs on the carpet. Who are you going to call? Mum of course as you tell her "Guess what Mum? 3 sixes are 18." as you place the 18 like so:
06 12 18
24 30 36
42
Then say if 3 sixes are18 and 5 sixes are 30, 8 sixes must be 48 as you add 18 to 30 placing the 48 below 30. And also say if 3 sixes are 18 and 6 sixes are 36, 9 sixes must be 54 as you add 18 to 36 below like so:
06 12 18
24 30 36
42 48 54
