Times 20, take three lots away. Then put it to work with a free 60-second drill.
The trick for the 17 times table
Times 20, take three lots away. 17 × n = 20 × n − 3 × n. Or use 10 × n + 7 × n if subtraction feels slower.
- 17 × 6 = 120 − 18 = 102
- 17 × 8 = 160 − 24 = 136
- 17 × 12 = 240 − 36 = 204
