8 times table
One table, one page: 8 × 1 to 8 × 10 big enough for the fridge, the multiples of 8 lit up on a hundred chart, and a practice page with the answers taken away.
How to use it
Page one goes on the fridge, page two goes into a punched pocket with a dry-wipe pen. Read the poster together a few times first: the coloured band and the lit squares on the chart give the same ten answers twice, so a child sees the 8s as a path through the hundred as well as a list. Then hand over page two — the same ten facts in a scrambled order, with the multiples missing from the chart and from the counting row.
8 is double double double: 8 × 7 is 14, 28, 56. The last digits run 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 and then again — down by two while the tens go up. And the famous one, 8 × 8 = 64, is usually the first to stick, because it turns up in every test.

Printing notes
- Print at 100%, not "fit to page" — scaling shrinks the digits and the whole point is that your child writes them at a steady size.
- Black-and-white and draft mode are fine. Nothing on these sheets depends on colour.
- Slide a sheet into a punched pocket and a dry-wipe pen turns one page into a hundred goes.
