Find 3 x 7
2 x 7 = __
1 x 7 = __
__ + __ =
So, 3 x 7 = __
2 x 7 = 14
1 x 7 = 7
14 + 7 =
So, 3 x 7 = 21

You can find 7 x 9 by breaking a large array into two smaller arrays. Use smaller arrays for multiplication facts that you know, such as 2s facts, 5s facts, or doubles facts. Use two smaller arrays to find 7 x 9. 
5 x 9 = 45
2 x 9 = 18
45 + 18 = 63
So, 7x9 = 63

To solve a multiplication equation that has 8 as a factor, you can break it into two or more facts. You can use a 4s fact and double it to find the product. Split the 8 x 7 array into two equal groups. 
4 x 7 = 28
4 x 7 = 28
28 + 28 = 56
So, 8 x 7 = 56

Break the array into two smaller arrays using a doubles fact and solve 6x8.
3 x 8 = 24
3 x 8 = 24
24 + 24 = 48
So, 6 x 8 = 48

8 x 9 = (2 x 9) + (2 x 9) + (2 x 9) + (2 x 9)
8 x 9 = 18 + 18 + 18 + 18
8 x 9 = 72
