6 Times Table Color by Number Worksheet

Every region on this picture carries one 6 times table fact. Every answer is even, and every answer is double the matching 3s fact. 6 × 7 is double 3 × 7. A child has to recall the answer before they know which crayon a region takes, so the coloring rewards the retrieval instead of replacing it. 6 × 7 = 42 and 6 × 8 = 48. The 6s, 7s, and 8s meet here, which is why this corner of the grid is the last to become automatic.

Teaching notes for 6 times table

Take the 5s fact and add one more group. 6 × 8 is 5 × 8 = 40, plus 8, which is 48. The 5s are reliable, so this route is reliable. Watch which regions your child leaves until last: they are almost always the facts that still need counting. The 5s and the 3s. Both give a shortcut into the 6s.

How to use this sheet

  • 1. Solve the problem printed inside each region of the picture.
  • 2. Find that answer in the color key at the top of the sheet.
  • 3. Color the region with the crayon next to it. Each swatch also carries a letter code, so the sheet still works printed in black and white.

The picture only comes out right if the facts were answered right, which is the point: a guessed answer shows up as a wrong color instead of disappearing into a page of ticks.

After the 6 times table sheet

A coloring sheet is deliberate, slow practice — good for a first pass and for the facts that are still shaky. Recall speed comes from short repeated retrieval, so pair it with a few minutes of online practice rather than another sheet.
