8 Times Table Color by Number Worksheet

Every region on this picture carries one 8 times table fact. Every answer is even, and each is double the matching 4s fact. 8 × 6 is double 4 × 6. 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. 8 × 7 = 56 and 8 × 6 = 48, the same pair that troubles the 6s and 7s. If a child owns these two, the hard corner is done.

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.

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.
