4 Times Table
Print the 4 times table as a filled answer key or blank worksheet, with downloads for PDF, PNG, and quick classroom printing.
The Double-Double Pattern
Every 4 times fact can be solved by doubling twice: take the other factor, double it once, then double that result. For example, 7 x 4 is double 7 to 14, then double again to 28.
Practice Plan for 4s
Start by reading the filled table aloud twice, then switch to Blank and try to fill the products from memory. Repeat in short sessions until the student can move through all twelve facts without hesitation.
Using the Blank Worksheet
The blank version keeps the factors visible and removes the products. Printing it gives students a handwriting-based recall drill, which is useful for homework, warmups, or a quick check after a lesson.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the double-double trick work for multiplying by 4?
Multiplying by 4 is the same as multiplying by 2 and then by 2 again, because 4 equals 2 x 2.
Which facts should I check first on the blank 4 times table?
Look at the middle facts first: 6 x 4, 7 x 4, 8 x 4, and 9 x 4. These are often where students slow down after learning the easier 1s, 2s, 5s, and 10s.
