Fascinating Fact:
A pirate ship sails 11 kilometres in an hour, and a fast ship sails 4 times as far. The fast ship sails 44 kilometres.
In 11 Plus Times Tables, the 4 times table supports quick recall for multiplication, division, and word problems. It is closely linked to doubling twice, recognising even-number patterns, and working efficiently under time pressure.
Key Terms
Product: The answer you get when you multiply two numbers, for example 4 × 6 = 24, so 24 is the product.
Quotient: The answer you get when you divide, for example 28 ÷ 4 = 7, so 7 is the quotient.
Double: To multiply by 2, which helps with the 4 times table because 4 × a number is double, then double again.
Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)
What is the 4 times table?
The 4 times table is the set of answers you get when you multiply numbers by 4, such as 4 × 5 = 20 and 4 × 9 = 36.
How do I learn the 4 times table quickly for the 11 Plus?
Use doubling: double the number to make ×2, then double again to make ×4. For example, 7 becomes 14, then 28, so 4 × 7 = 28.
How can I check a 4 times table answer?
Divide the product by 4 to see if you get the original number. For example, if you think 4 × 8 = 32, then 32 ÷ 4 = 8, so it checks out.
