Printable 4 Times Table Chart
The 4 times table at full size: 4 × 1 through 4 × 12 on one page, with a matching blank chart for practice. The 4s are the doubling table doubled — 4 × n is double 2 × n — so every answer is even, with ones digits cycling 4, 8, 2, 6, 0.
How to Use the 4 Times Table Chart
Teach the double-double route alongside the chart: for 4 × 7, double 7 to get 14, then double again to get 28 — then find the row and confirm. Working the trick and checking the chart builds both the strategy and the memory.
On the blank chart, have students fill the easy anchors first (4 × 1, 4 × 2, 4 × 5, 4 × 10), then work the gaps between them. The cluster 4 × 6 = 24, 4 × 7 = 28, 4 × 8 = 32 causes the most slips — chant it in order before a timed round.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 4 times table relate to the 2 times table?
Every 4s fact is exactly double the matching 2s fact: 2 × 7 = 14, so 4 × 7 = 28. That is why the double-double strategy works — multiplying by 4 is doubling twice.
What pattern do the answers in the 4 times table follow?
All the answers are even, and the ones digits cycle through 4, 8, 2, 6, 0 and then repeat. Spotting the cycle on the chart helps students judge instantly whether an answer looks right.
