Count in 4s
4 → 8 → 12 → 16 → 20 → 24 → 28 → 32 → 36 → 40 → 44 → 48
Last digits repeat
4, 8, 2, 6, 0, then again
The ones that trip people up
The 4 times table lists the multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48.
Double, then double again: 4 × 7 → 14 → 28. Then practise for a few minutes a day, asking the facts in mixed order rather than reciting them.
4 × 7 = 28. It is the same fact as 7 × 4, so learning it once covers both tables.
4 × 12 = 48. A quick way: 4 × 10 = 40, plus 4 × 2 = 8, makes 48.
The last digits of the answers repeat in a cycle: 4, 8, 2, 6, 0.
The 4s take a little more practice than the easy tables, but the tricks on this page and short daily practice make them stick.
