3 and 4 Table

3 Times table

Any number x 3 = the number x 2 + the number

4 Times table

Any number x 4 = that number x 2 then either multiply the result by 2 or add the result to itself to get the answer
e.g. 7 x 4 = 7 x 2 = 14
either 14 x 2 = 28 ( this is effective if you train your child beyond 12 x 2 ) or 14 + 14 = 28

So far, we have covered , 1 , 2 , 3 ,4 ,5 10, 11 times tables and we will deal with
6, 7, 8, 9 & 12 soon. But before doing so we should re-visit the rectangle. The rectangle calculates unit square. It is exactly the same as calculating the area except for the dimension ( m2 ). There is no dimension involved.

Let’s do 4 x 5 using the rectangle

Answer : 4 +6 + 4 + 6 = 20
I split 4 into 2 + 2 and 5 into 2 + 3
The rest is obvious. This is a very useful tool and please encourage your kid to learn it. It will grow in usefulness as he/she grows in age.
