Times Table: 4s

🎯 What You'll Learn

You will memorise the 4 times table. Here's a secret: 4 times a number is just double-double!

🏪 Market Story

Amina notices that her mother's car has 4 tyres. She counts how many tyres for multiple cars: 1 car = 4 tyres, 2 cars = 8 tyres, 3 cars = 12 tyres. She's discovering the 4 times table just by counting tyres!

📝 Let's Learn

The 4 times table:

• 1 × 4 = 4
• 2 × 4 = 8
• 3 × 4 = 12
• 4 × 4 = 16
• 5 × 4 = 20
• 6 × 4 = 24
• 7 × 4 = 28
• 8 × 4 = 32
• 9 × 4 = 36
• 10 × 4 = 40

Double-double trick: 4 × a number = double it, then double again.

Example: 4 × 7. Double 7 = 14. Double 14 = 28. ✓

Example 1: 4 × 6. Double 6 = 12. Double 12 = 24.

Example 2: 4 × 8. Double 8 = 16. Double 16 = 32.

Example 3: Bola buys 4 pens at ₦5 each: 4 × ₦5 = ₦20.
