2*2*2=8
3*3*3=27
4*4*4=64
5*5*5=125

it's worth knowing and being able to recognise square numbers, cubed numbers and prime numbers

Thank you very much!

Yes, i think it is very useful to know prime numbers, cube numbers and square numbers too.

Can I add triangle numbers to that list too. Easy to work out but quicker if you know them.

1 = 1
1 + 2 = 3
1 + 2 +3 = 6
etc.

The lovely thing about 13x13 = 169 and 14x14=196 is that the digits used in the answers are the same so children just need to know 13x13 and then swap the last two for 14x14.
