🎵 Learning the 4× Table with “Marching Fours”

MultipliNation’s Album Eleven, in the Early Childhood Music genre, continues with a steady, joyful track all about the ×4 times table.

This new song all about the ×4 times table helps children see how numbers grow when multiplied by four, and introduces them to the idea of doubling twice.

Why the 4× Table Matters

The ×4 table builds on what kids already know from the ×2 table. By understanding that ×4 is just “double the double,” children quickly gain confidence. For example:

• 2×4 = 8

• 4×4 = 16

• 6×4 = 24
  …and all the way up through 10×4 = 40.

Learning the ×4 table strengthens number sense and makes larger multiplication easier later on.

Math Hack for Kids 💡

Think of ×4 as double, then double again. Example: 7×4 = (7+7=14, then 14+14=28). This trick makes the ×4 table easy and fun to calculate!

For Families, Classrooms, and Homeschool 🏫

Parents and teachers love how times tables songs keep lessons moving forward. In family settings, the ×4 song can be sung while marching, clapping, or even walking together. As a homeschool math tool or a classroom resource, it brings structure and energy to math practice.

Science Connection 🔬

The number 4 plays a big role in how we understand the world:

• There are 4 seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

• The compass has 4 directions: north, south, east, and west.

• Many things in nature come in fours, like the legs of most animals.

By learning the ×4 table, kids connect with a number that helps explain time, space, and the natural world.

A Fun Math Joke 😂

Why was the math book excited about the number 4?
Because it was “for” everyone!
