Is the 7 times table really the hardest?

For most children, yes. No doubling, no ending pattern. Half the facts are already known from other tables if you turn them around; the rest are memory work.

How many problems are on a sheet?

Twenty-five in the column layout, fifty in the mad-minute grid, all sevens, shuffled every print.

How to teach this

The 7 times table is the one most children find hardest, because there is no doubling or ending pattern to lean on. Lean on turn-arounds instead: 7 × 2, 7 × 5, 7 × 10 are already known from other tables, which leaves 7 × 3, 7 × 4, 7 × 6, 7 × 7, 7 × 8 and 7 × 9 to learn as facts. Short daily rounds beat one long session.

Watch for: Kids guess 7 × 8 as 54 or 48. It is 56; the 5-6-7-8 line is the quickest way to fix it. Kids treat 7 × 4 and 4 × 7 as different facts. They are the same product; knowing that halves the table.
