Multiplication Facts for kids - 4x Table - Four Times Table

Are you trying to find an effective way to teach your kids the times tables? Multiplication in general is not that hard, but whenever the number gets bigger, the equation might become harder to solve but the initial steps taken in the world of multiplication is teaching the kids the times tables.

Every number has its own times table and every times table is about multiplying the number by the numbers from one to ten - it could get further but would be harder for the kids to memorize later on. Number four times table urges the kid to count four more numbers every single time they multiply it by another, here is for example the times table until number 10:
4 x 1 = 4
4 x 2 = 8
4 x 3 = 12
4 x 4 = 16
4 x 5 = 20
4 x 6 = 24
4 x 7 = 28
4 x 8 = 32
4 x 9 = 36
4 x 10 = 40
And every single time a number in the right order is multiplied by four, the kid will keep adding four to the last result he stopped at.

The times tables are considered the basics of multiplication and learning them, but there are other methods used as well which kids could learn through how to multiply and solve the different multiplication equations and questions which they pass by and are asked about. From these different methods, there is the famous grid table method used for multiplying the numbers composed of two digits (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9TWSto7FSU), there is also the method which depends on the Lego pieces to help the kids to count (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPW1bmLTFdA) and there are different written methods that include the famous number line that kids use with lots of other mathematical operations (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5v0AjM0jcPA).

Math is considered the most interesting subject that kids could learn at home - or even in general - because there are lots of ways and techniques, and parents could even ask the kids to count and do some mathematical operations in the daily life situations which they pass by. These different situations that the kids pass by and could be asked about some mathematical questions urge parents and teachers to choose the right ways and interesting methods that would always keep the kids excited and give them the chance to answer.

One of the important things to mention about multiplication and teaching it to the kids is leaving them well aware of the multiplication vocabulary that could be used in the story problems to give the kids a hint of what they are asked to do. Multiplication vocabulary include words like double, times, multiply, repeated addition, array, groups of, lots of, etc. which if any of them appeared in the story, kids should immediately understand that what is being asked from them is to multiply (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trlXHFaeZYw).

You could also check other videos about the times tables on our channel - you will find from number two to number ten - to make it easier for you as a target this time, you could check the times table of number three just before four (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77gEdEUShiY) and the times table of number five which is directly coming after number four (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqlsUhAzHpY).

Games are always the easiest to teach the kids because they are the most excited and interested at this stage, but there are different methods used in math which one will never be able to count since every single parent out there could come up with some good ideas which their kids will learn something from.

Kids should always understand how to multiply and use these times tables before they reach the point where they are helped with memorizing it all. If the kids didn't understand the times tables, they will not be able to memorize them and answer the questions in the future when they are faced with them. Understanding is important because it will help the kids to answer the questions by thinking if they didn't remember the timetable of a specific number.

This is all about the important things for kids to know about times table for number four. Enjoy watching the video along with your kids and inform us about your feedback and tell us how effective this video turned out to be for them at the end.
