TheSchoolRun.com closure date
As we informed you a few months ago, TheSchoolRun has had to make the difficult decision to close due to financial pressures and the company has now ceased trading. We had hoped to keep our content available through a partnership with another educational provider, but this provider has since withdrawn from the agreement.
As a result, we now have to permanently close TheSchoolRun.com. However, to give subscribers time to download any content they’d like to keep, we will keep the website open until 31st July 2025. After this date, the site will be taken down and there will be no further access to any resources. We strongly encourage you to download and save any resources you think you may want to use in the future.
In particular, we suggest downloading:
- Learning packs
- All the worksheets from the 11+ programme, if you are following this with your child
- Complete Learning Journey programmes (the packs below include all 40 worksheets for each programme)
You should already have received 16 primary school eBooks (worth £108.84) to download and keep. If you haven’t received these, please contact us at [email protected] before 31st July 2025, and we will send them to you.
We are very sorry that there is no way to continue offering access to resources and sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.
7 times table patterns
What is the 7 times table?
The 7 times table is a multiplication table where each number is multiplied by 7.
It goes like this:
1 x 7 = 7
2 x 7 = 14
3 x 7 = 21
4 x 7 = 28
5 x 7 = 35
6 x 7 = 42
7 x 7 = 49
8 x 7 = 56
9 x 7 = 63
10 x 7 = 70
And so on.
Is there a pattern to the 7 times table?
In the 7 times table, you'll find a few interesting patterns that can help your child understand and remember multiplication more easily:
Increasing by 7
Each time you move to the next number in the table, you're simply adding 7 to the previous one.
Digit patterns
If you look closely at the units digits of the multiples, they follow a predictable cycle. It goes like this: 7, 4, 1, 8, 5, 2, 9, 6, 3, 0, and then it repeats. For example, in 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, the units digits are 7, 4, 1, 8, 5, 2, 9, 6, 3, 0, respectively.
Alternating odd and even
If you pay attention to the units digits, you'll notice they switch between odd and even numbers as you go through the table.
Related to other tables
There are some neat connections between the 7 times table and other multiplication tables. For instance, multiplying any number by 7 is equivalent to doubling that number and then adding the original number. So, 7 times 6 is like doubling 6 (which is 12) and then adding 6, which equals 18.
These patterns can make learning multiplication facts more engaging and easier to grasp!
