How it works

Ask. Beat. Answer.

1

The band asks

A singer calls out the fact: “Seven times eight!” The question is on screen too, so readers and listeners both get it.

2

The beat waits

The music leaves a gap. That’s your moment. Shout it, whisper it, or write it down. Just get there first.

3

The band answers

The answer lands on the beat with its own picture, and the picture is the same every time, so 56 starts to look like 56.

Round 1 · LearnHear every fact and its answer.
Round 2 · Sing alongSay it with the band.
Round 3 · Test yourselfBeat the band to every answer.

Don’t count. Know it.

Beat the beat right now

No video, no sign-up. A fact pops up and four beats count down. Say the answer before the last beat, and then see if you were right.

  • Pick a table, or Mix them all.
  • Too fast? Hit Slower. Too easy? Hit Faster.
  • Great on a projector: the whole class shouts it together.

Every answer has a look

Numbers you can see

Each answer is built out of something that rhymes with it. Forty-eight is a pizza on a plate. Forty-nine is two cool fe-lines. Each picture is the same in every song, so the answer sticks.

For the grown-ups

Two minutes. Real practice.

Each song is about two minutes of call-and-answer practice that kids actually ask to hear again. Here’s how teachers, homeschoolers and parents are putting it to work.

Teachers

Morning warm-up

One song, whole class, two minutes. It gets everyone’s voice going and puts the facts on the table before the lesson starts.

Split the room

The songs are built as question-and-answer. One side of the room asks, the other side answers, and then they swap on the next round.

A brain break that counts

Stand up, move with the band, and keep practicing. It works well when the room needs to get the wiggles out.

Round 3 is your check

The last round is the “test yourself” pass. Listen for which facts the room beats the band on, and which ones go quiet.

Project the game

The Beat the Beat game above runs full-screen on a projector with no login, and you set the speed.

Printable follow-up

Each song has a one-page practice sheet with its facts, the flipped facts and a picture match. The answer key is printed upside down.

Free printables

Practice sheets

These are one-page sheets that match each song: the facts, the flipped facts and a picture match. The answer key is printed upside down at the bottom. Print as many as you need. There’s nothing to sign up for.

Make it your own

Film your crew

Get your class or family together, pick who asks and who answers, and film a lip-sync or a dance-along to any song. Can your crew beat the beat?

Questions

Good questions

What is Snap Street Band?

Snap Street Band is a music-video band that makes multiplication songs for kids. Each song teaches one times table as call-and-answer: a singer asks the fact, the beat leaves a gap for the listener to say the answer, then the band sings it. It is a True North Originals production.

What ages are the songs for?

The songs are made for kids ages 8 to 13 who are learning or reviewing their times tables. The style is street-dance and pop, made for tweens rather than little kids.

Which times tables are covered?

There are songs for the 7 times table (Seven's Got the Groove), the 8 times table (Eight on the Beat) and the 9 times table (Nine Hit the Line). More times tables are on the way. Subscribe on YouTube to catch them.

Are the songs and printables free?

Yes. Every song is free to watch here and on YouTube, and the printable practice sheets are free to print and copy for your class or family, with no sign-up.

How do teachers use the songs in class?

Common ways are a two-minute morning warm-up, a brain break that still practices facts, splitting the room so one side asks and the other answers, and using Round 3 as a quick check of which facts the class knows. The Beat the Beat game on this site also runs on a projector with no login.

Why does every answer have a picture?

Each answer is drawn as the number built out of something that rhymes with it: 48 is a pizza on a plate, 49 is two cats (fe-line), 64 is basketballs (score). The same picture appears every time that answer comes up, in every song, so the number and the image stick together.

How does each song work?

Every song runs its facts three times. Round 1 teaches each fact and answer, Round 2 is a sing-along, and Round 3 is a test-yourself round where you try to say every answer before the band does.
