Eight Times Table Practice Activities
Printable maths drill worksheets that help children practise, recall, and apply the 8 times table with growing speed and accuracy.
Practice that builds confidence
Building the idea of eight
These Eight Times Table worksheets help children build confident recall of multiplication facts from the Mathematics > Math Drills > Multiplication Facts section. Children practise seeing 8 as equal groups, skip counting, repeated addition, and quick fact recall.
The printable activities include focused drills, mixed multiplication questions, missing-number facts, and simple application-style practice. They are useful for daily revision at home, maths warm-ups in class, or extra support when the 8 times table feels harder than smaller facts.
The 8 times table can feel demanding because the answers grow quickly: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 and beyond. These worksheets begin with the pattern that each new fact is 8 more than the last. Children connect multiplication to repeated addition, equal groups, and skip counting before moving towards faster recall.
Practice that moves from support to fluency
Activities may include ordered facts, jumbled facts, missing products, missing factors, and mixed multiplication drills. This progression matters: a child who can say 8 × 6 = 48 in order may still need practice recognising 6 × 8 or finding the missing number in 8 × __ = 56. Seeing the same table in different formats strengthens flexible understanding, not just chanting.
A simple parent routine
At home, use one short page or a small section regularly. First, ask your child to count by 8s aloud while pointing to the answers. Next, complete a few facts together, discussing helpful links such as 8 × 5 = 40, so 8 × 6 is 8 more, or 8 × 10 = 80, so 8 × 9 is 8 less. End with a quick self-check using an answer key or a calculator only after the attempt is complete.
Classroom uses for maths teachers
Teachers can use these printables as morning maths drills, multiplication centres, homework reinforcement, or quick checks after teaching multiplication facts. They also work well for differentiated practice: some pupils can complete supported skip-counting tasks, while others try mixed facts or timed recall without changing the core skill.
Common errors to watch for
Children often confuse 8s with 6s, skip a number while counting, or write digits in the wrong order in answers such as 48 or 56. Some rely only on memory and get stuck when a fact is forgotten. Encourage them to rebuild the fact: double the 4 times table, add 8 to a known fact, or use 8 × 10 and count back.

Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What facts are practised in the eight times table worksheets?
The worksheets focus on multiplication facts for the 8 times table, typically using facts such as 8 × 1 through 8 × 12, along with related missing-number and mixed-order practice.
How can my child remember the 8 times table more easily?
Encourage your child to use known facts. For example, if 8 × 5 = 40, then 8 × 6 is 8 more, which is 48. They can also double the 4 times table to find the 8 times table.
Are these worksheets suitable for maths homework?
Yes. They are printable and focused, so teachers can assign them for multiplication fact revision, and parents can use them for regular home practice.
Why does my child know the table in order but miss jumbled facts?
Reciting in order depends on a sequence, while jumbled facts require instant recognition. Mixed practice helps children recall each fact independently, such as recognising 8 × 7 without starting from 8 × 1.
Should children use counting or memorisation for the 8 times table?
Both are useful at different stages. Counting by 8s helps children understand the pattern, while repeated practice helps them move towards quicker recall.

Yes. You can preview it for free and use the printable worksheet for home or classroom practice.
