Row meets column at the product. The diagonal holds the squares, and the two halves mirror each other — which is why 7×8 and 8×7 share one page.

How to read this

  • Swapping the order does not change the answer, so 7×8 and 8×7 are one page.
  • Moving one step along adds that table — the sevens grow by seven each time.
  • Division undoes multiplication: 56 ÷ 7 = 8 means 7 × 8 = 56.
  • Some products come from more than one pair — 24 is 3×8 and also 4×6.
