The 7 times table is famous for being the trickiest of them all! But don't worry—since you already know the other tables through the commutative property, there are only a few new facts to learn.
However, because of the commutative property (7 × 5 is the same as 5 × 7), by the time you learn the 7s, you actually already know most of the answers! You really only need to memorize 7×7, 7×8, and 7×9.
