I won't bother with the 5, 10 or 11 times table because they're easy to remember (all 5 or 0; all 0, all the 1 times table with double vision) but here are the other numbers.
The odd numbers -
This 3, 6, 9 pattern is in the 3 times table:
3, 6, 9; 1+2, 1+5, 1+8; 2 + 1, 2 + 4, 2 + 7; 3 + 0, 3 + 3, 3 + 6
3, 6, 9; 1+2, 1+5, 1+8; 2 + 1, 2 + 4, 2 + 7; 3 + 0, 3 + 3, 3 + 6
This predictable rising by 1 pattern is in the 7 times table:
7, 4 , 1; 8, 5, 2; 9, 6, 3; 10, 7, 4
7, 4 , 1; 8, 5, 2; 9, 6, 3; 10, 7, 4
The 9 times table is easy to remember because it is just 9 to 0:
9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0
9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0
The Even Numbers -
This pattern is repeated in the 2 times table:
2 4 6 8 0 2 4 6 8 0
This pattern is repeated in the 4 times table:
4 8 2 6 0 4 8 2 6 0
This pattern is repeated in the 6 times table:
6 2 8 4 0 6 2 8 4 0
This pattern is repeated in the 8 times table:
8 6 4 2 0 8 6 4 2 0
This pattern is repeated in the 12 times table (It's the same as the 2 times table):
2 4 6 8 0 2 4 6 8 0
And if you can remember those patterns it is easier to remember the times tables.
