The pattern behind the list
Look at the last digit of each answer. From 6 × 1 to 6 × 10 it goes like this, and then the same pattern repeats every ten facts all the way up to 6 × 150:
- 6
- 2
- 8
- 4
- 0
- 6
- 2
- 8
- 4
- 0
Working out big facts
You do not need to learn all 150 facts by heart. Use the method for the 6 times table instead: Split 6 into 5 and 1: work out the 5s and the 1s, then add them.
Split 6 into 5 and 1. 5 × 150 = 750 and 1 × 150 = 150, so 6 × 150 = 750 + 150 = 900.
6 × 150 = 750 + 150 = 900
