4 Times Table Practice

Master the 4 times table with retrieval-first drills and mixed recall practice.

Build 4× fluency for faster multiplication and inverse division confidence.

Curriculum focus: secure recall of 4× facts and connected division facts.

4 times table

All facts from 4×1 to 4×12.

4 × 1 = 4

4 × 2 = 8

4 × 3 = 12

4 × 4 = 16

4 × 5 = 20

4 × 6 = 24

4 × 7 = 28

4 × 8 = 32

4 × 9 = 36

4 × 10 = 40

4 × 11 = 44

4 × 12 = 48

The 4 times table can be taught as double-and-double again, which helps children derive facts they cannot yet recall.

Start: say the 4 times table in order once, then close the pattern and answer mixed facts.
Build: connect each 4x fact to a matching division fact.
Stretch: answer the trickiest facts after a short pause, not from a memorised chant.

4 x 7 = 28

4 x 9 = 36

32 / 4 = 8

For the 4 times table, run one focused round, then mix in two easier tables so recall transfers beyond the page order.
The child can answer facts out of order, not only in a chant.
The child can use one multiplication fact to answer a related division fact.
