Fruit Frenzy: Times tables comic
Apple Orchard, Orchardville
Momo: Seven sacks, six apples each. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!
Sir Oops-a-Lot: Hehe, no one will check! 6 times 7 is 42. Got 'em!
Momo: Uh-oh. What if I get it wrong?
Times tables
Groups of same number
6 apples, 7 times easy
7 apples, 6 times quick
Momo: I can count 6 apples 7 times, or 7 apples 6 times, and it's the same! Isn't that cool?
Sir Oops-a-Lot: Four sacks, five apples each. 5 times 4 is 20. See?
Momo: 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 42, or 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 42!
6 × 7 = 42
7 × 6 = 42
Momo's times table tip
Add the number 6 seven times
Or 7 six times
It's the same answer!
Momo: So, if I add 6 seven times, I get 42. Or 7 six times, same 42! It's easy peasy!
Your turn, hero!
