The 7 Times Table: Rainbow Castle

High in the clouds sits Rainbow Castle, where Princess Ruby counts in sevens! Every rainbow has 7 colors, every week has 7 days, every kite tail has 7 bows and the ladybugs in the royal garden have 7 spots.

The 7 times table

  • 1 × 7 = 7
  • 2 × 7 = 14
  • 3 × 7 = 21
  • 4 × 7 = 28
  • 5 × 7 = 35
  • 6 × 7 = 42
  • 7 × 7 = 49
  • 8 × 7 = 56
  • 9 × 7 = 63
  • 10 × 7 = 70
  • 11 × 7 = 77
  • 12 × 7 = 84

Magic trick: 7 is a tricky one, so remember this rhyme: 5, 6, 7, 8 → 56 = 7 × 8. And a week has 7 days, so 7 × 2 = 14 is two weeks.

Seek and Find

Look carefully at the picture of Rainbow Castle and find:
