Common misconception
Pupils may not realise they can use simpler multiplication facts to build up to the 7 times table or may not know their times tables facts.
You can provide multiplication charts. Continue to encourage pupils to break down problems involving 7 into smaller, known facts (e.g., 7 × 6 = 5 × 6 + 2 × 6).
