The pattern behind the list
Look at the last digit of each answer. From 9 × 1 to 9 × 10 it goes like this, and then the same pattern repeats every ten facts all the way up to 9 × 200:
- 9
- 8
- 7
- 6
- 5
- 4
- 3
- 2
- 1
- 0
Working out big facts
You do not need to learn all 200 facts by heart. Use the method for the 9 times table instead: Nine lots is ten lots take away one lot.
Work out 10 × 200 = 2000, then take away one 200: 2000 − 200 = 1800.
9 × 200 = 2000 − 200 = 1800
