Learn the 7 Times Table with a Song — Maths Made Musical!
Our brand-new educational video makes the trickiest times table fun, catchy and genuinely easy to memorise
Watch on YouTubeWhy is the 7 times table so hard to learn?
Ask any parent or primary school teacher: the 7 times table is almost universally considered the trickiest of all. Unlike the 2s, 5s or 10s, it offers no obvious shortcuts, no instantly recognisable patterns, and no easy rhymes — at least not in traditional learning. Yet mastering it is essential for fluent mental arithmetic from Year 3 / Grade 2 onwards.
At Boom Lala Boom, we believe every child can learn anything when it's presented the right way. With music, rhythm and joyful repetition, the 7 times table becomes not just learnable — but genuinely fun to sing!
💡 Did you know? Research in educational neuroscience shows that music activates areas of the brain linked to memory, language and emotion simultaneously. Content learned through song can be retained up to 40% more effectively than content learned through rote repetition alone.

Why singing times tables actually works
The musical approach to learning times tables is seeing a major revival in English-speaking classrooms and homes. In 2025–2026, parents and educators alike are turning to high-quality, free educational content on YouTube to supplement school learning — and the results are striking.
Stronger Memorisation
Melody and rhythm create powerful mnemonic anchors. Children retain number sequences the same way they recall lyrics to a favourite song — effortlessly.
Maths Anxiety Reduced
Linking multiplication to music lowers anxiety and removes the fear of failure. Children learn without realising they're "doing work".
Natural Repetition
A child who loves a song will ask to hear it again and again — which is exactly the repetition needed to move times tables into long-term memory.
Multi-Sensory Learning
Watching, listening, singing and moving at the same time engages multiple brain pathways — producing a far more durable memory trace.
How to get the most from the video
Watching the video is a great start — but to truly anchor the 7 times table, here is a simple daily routine for home or classroom use:
Free first listen 👂
Let your child watch and listen without any pressure to memorise. The goal is simply to get familiar with the tune. No expectations, just enjoyment.
Sing along together 🎤
From the second listen, join in! Your voice is reassuring and guides their memory. Don't correct mistakes — joyful repetition does the work.
3–5 minutes daily 📅
Consistency beats intensity. Five minutes every day for two weeks is far more effective than an hour once. Slot the song into an existing routine: morning, after school, bath time.
The whisper test 🤫
Once the song is familiar, ask your child to "sing it in their head" and call out the answers aloud. This signals the beginning of true internalisation.
Games and activities 🎲
Combine the song with card games, written practice and timed challenges to consolidate the learning. Browse our activities page for ideas!
The bigger picture: edutainment and the future of learning
In the UK, the times tables check (Year 4, age 8–9) means children are expected to know all their tables fluently — including the notoriously tough 7s. In the US, Common Core standards expect multiplication fluency by the end of Grade 3. The pressure on children and families is real.
The answer isn't more drilling — it's smarter, more engaging methods. The global trend in early childhood education for 2025–2026 is clear: high-quality edutainment content (education + entertainment) is becoming a mainstream complement to traditional teaching. Free, accessible, and genuinely effective, YouTube-based learning is now a key part of the family toolkit.
Boom Lala Boom is proud to contribute to this movement with content that meets the highest standards of both musical quality and educational value — for children of all backgrounds, in multiple languages.
