Three times table
Position, Colour and image to help you remember your times tables! Before you start, make sure you understand how it works.
Then, focus on location and learn where the THREE TIMES table is positioned.
BOTTOM LEFT.
Location, location!
The THREE TIMES table has nine positions and these are always in the BOTTOM LEFT.
Similarly, there are nine tables. If we multiply BY THREE, the answer will also always be in the BOTTOM LEFT position within each table.

Location, colour and image combined
When a number is multiplied by THREE, the answer will always be in RED in the BOTTOM LEFT position.
Also, within the overall picture, the big RED box in the BOTTOM LEFT position, holds the THREE TIMES table. Here, the colour of each number depends on the number we are multiplying with.
Finally, we can connect an image to each table. In the worksheets below, we associate a HEART with the THREE TIMES table.
Interestingly, when we look at all the tables combined (with each table in its own unique position), we discover some amazing facts about square numbers, symmetry, sums and relative relationships.
