Parent questions

When is the 4 times table taught?: Year 3 in England, in the same year as the 3 and 8 times tables. By the end of Year 4 all tables to 12 × 12 are expected.
What is the quickest way to work out a 4s fact?: Double twice. For 4 × 9, double 9 to get 18, then double 18 to get 36. It is a dependable fallback while the recall is still forming.
How do the 4s help with the 8 times table?: Each 8s fact is its matching 4s fact doubled: 4 × 6 = 24, so 8 × 6 = 48. Securing the 4s first makes the 8s much less daunting.
Where does a child already meet the 4 times table?: Quarters lean on it constantly: four 25p coins make a pound, four quarters make a whole, and there are four seasons in a year and four weeks in most months. Meeting the facts outside lessons helps them stick.
