The 8 Times Table: Octopus Tea Party
Dive down to the Octopus Tea Party under the sea, where things come in eights! Octavia the octopus and her friends have 8 arms each (perfect for holding lots of teacups), the seaweed cakes are cut into 8 slices and the shell crayons come in boxes of 8.
The 8 times table
- 1 × 8 = 8
- 2 × 8 = 16
- 3 × 8 = 24
- 4 × 8 = 32
- 5 × 8 = 40
- 6 × 8 = 48
- 7 × 8 = 56
- 8 × 8 = 64
- 9 × 8 = 72
- 10 × 8 = 80
- 11 × 8 = 88
- 12 × 8 = 96
Magic trick: Times 8 is double, double, double: 8 × 3 → 6, 12, 24.
