How the lesson starts: Multiplication Facts Within 100

Captain Nova's rocket
Blast off, friend! Captain Nova flies a rocket with her crew. Oh no, the rocket computer broke! Nova must work out times facts in her head. Let's train like astronauts!
Friendly fact tricks
Some facts have tricks. Times 2 means double: 2 × 7 = 14. Times 5, count by 5s: 6 × 5 = 30. Times 10, count by 10s: 10 × 4 = 40. Times 3, add three times: 3 × 8 = 24.
Fours: double, double
Nova's best trick is for 4s. Double, then double again! 4 × 7: double 7 is 14. Double 14 is 28. So 4 × 7 = 28. Watch out: times is not plus. 4 + 7 is only 11!
