WORKED EXAMPLE
Double twice
To find 4 × 7, start with two groups of seven. Add another two groups of seven.
- First double7 + 7 = 14
- Double again14 + 14 = 28
If a learner answers 14, ask how many groups that first double counts. Two more groups are needed for the four-times fact.
TRY ONE
Find both doubles
Choose a partner and enter the number of objects in two groups, then in four groups.
For the complete set of examples, open the reference table below.
4 times table reference · all twelve doubles
| Partner | Two groups | Four groups |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 × 1 = 2 | 4 × 1 = 4 |
| 2 | 2 × 2 = 4 | 4 × 2 = 8 |
| 3 | 2 × 3 = 6 | 4 × 3 = 12 |
| 4 | 2 × 4 = 8 | 4 × 4 = 16 |
| 5 | 2 × 5 = 10 | 4 × 5 = 20 |
| 6 | 2 × 6 = 12 | 4 × 6 = 24 |
| 7 | 2 × 7 = 14 | 4 × 7 = 28 |
| 8 | 2 × 8 = 16 | 4 × 8 = 32 |
| 9 | 2 × 9 = 18 | 4 × 9 = 36 |
| 10 | 2 × 10 = 20 | 4 × 10 = 40 |
| 11 | 2 × 11 = 22 | 4 × 11 = 44 |
| 12 | 2 × 12 = 24 | 4 × 12 = 48 |
Use the printed sheet
For the 12-fact check, revisit any product that stopped the learner. On the 100-fact page, note the last question reached, then enter incorrect and skipped question numbers in the scorer.
Practise 12 shuffled fours or choose a different table for a full page.
