About this worksheet
Double, then double again: 4 × 6 is double 12, which is double 6. Children who know the 2s learn the 4s quickly this way. Every answer is even, and the units digits repeat 4, 8, 2, 6, 0. The facts most children find hardest: 4 × 7 = 28 and 4 × 8 = 32 are mixed up more than any other pair.
The 4 times table is taught in Year 3. Once it is secure, switch the question type to "4 × __ = 24" for the related division facts, or tick the other tables of the year group for a mixed sheet. Fifty and 100-question versions are a click away.
