Teaching notes for 4 times table
Double, then double again. 4 × 7 is 7 doubled to 14, doubled again to 28. Two easy steps beat one hard fact. Watch which regions your child leaves until last: they are almost always the facts that still need counting. The 2s, held firmly. Double-double falls apart if the first double is slow.
How to use this sheet
- 1. Solve the problem printed inside each region of the picture.
- 2. Find that answer in the color key at the top of the sheet.
- 3. Color the region with the crayon next to it. Each swatch also carries a letter code, so the sheet still works printed in black and white.
The picture only comes out right if the facts were answered right, which is the point: a guessed answer shows up as a wrong color instead of disappearing into a page of ticks.
After the 4 times table sheet
A coloring sheet is deliberate, slow practice — good for a first pass and for the facts that are still shaky. Recall speed comes from short repeated retrieval, so pair it with a few minutes of online practice rather than another sheet.
