The 4 times table

  • 4 × 1 =4
  • 4 × 2 =8
  • 4 × 3 =12
  • 4 × 4 =16
  • 4 × 5 =20

Trick

Double, then double again: 4 × 6 is 6 doubled (12), then doubled again (24).

Every answer in the 4 times table is an even number.

Where do you see 4s?

A car has 4 wheels. So 3 of them make 3 × 4 = 12.

Count in 4s: the multiples of 4

The numbers you say when you count in 4s are the multiples of 4. They are the answers in the 4 times table, and they keep going after 4 × 12. A number is a multiple of 4 if it can be shared into groups of 4 with nothing left over.
