I will be making use of the multiplication table 3 and 7.
Chart 3
It is a know fact that any number multiplied by one (1) will give that same number. So,
3 x 1 = 3
To know 3 x2, all you need to do is to add 3 to the previous number
3 +3 = 6
The next one will be 6 +3 = 9
9 + 3 = 12
Chart 7
Any number multiplied by one (1) will get that same number. So,
7x 1 = 7
To know 7 x2, all you need to do is to add 7 to the previous number
7 +7 = 14
The next one will be 14 +7 = 21
Next, 21 + 7 = 28
In conclusion, the knowledge of addition is the trick to know your multiplication tables without difficulty. And you can apply it to other charts without stress.
