Table of 4: Learn with patterns, real-life examples, and fun activities

The table of 4 becomes even more fascinating after mastering the table of 2 and table of 3 because it seems like a clever shortcut!

Learning the four times table is fun because it relates to patterns and doubling. This guide helps children learn the table of 4 using simple tricks, activities, and connect it in real world.

What is the Table of 4?

The table of 4 (or multiplication table of 4) means adding 4 again and again.

For example:
4 + 4 = 8
4 + 4 + 4 = 12
4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16

This is called repeated addition.

So instead of writing:
4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16

We write:
4 × 4 = 16

Multiplication	Result
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
4 × 13	52
4 × 14	56
4 × 15	60
4 × 16	64
4 × 17	68
4 × 18	72
4 × 19	76
4 × 20	80

Understanding the Pattern (Concept-Based Learning)

Let’s explore like math detectives.

What do you notice?

Numbers increase by 4 each time
Skip counting: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20…
All answers are even numbers
It’s like doubling twice!

Example:
4 × 5 = double of 5 (10) → double again = 20

Think & Predict

If you know:
4 × 10 = 40

Then:
4 × 11 = ? Just add 3 and the answer is 33

Easy, right? No memorising needed!

Table of 4 Real-Life Examples

Let’s find “groups of 4” around us

A car has 4 wheels -> 3 cars = 12 wheels
A table has 4 legs -> 5 tables = 20 legs
Many animals have 4 legs -> 6 animals = 24 legs
4 chocolates in a pack -> 7 packs = 28 chocolates

Ask kids:
“Can you find 5 things that come in groups of 4?”
