Maths for checking 9 times tables

this strategy is simple and easy this is how you do it

so the question is  6 X 9 = 54 so

5 + 4 = 9 right?

with all the 9 time tables ( only up to 10 )

1 X 9 = 9 + 0

2 X 9 = 18 so 1 + 8 = 9

3 X 9 =  27 so 2 + 7 = 9 

so that's how it works!

thank you big brother for teaching me this!

(it only works with 9 times tables
