Practise the 4 times table
Three practice questions first, then all twelve facts in a random order. Each one has six seconds and a three-second pause before the next, the same pace as the multiplication tables check in Year 4. Type the answer or tap the keypad.

Patterns that help
Every answer is even, and the last digits go 4, 8, 2, 6, 0 and then repeat. Four times a number is double, then double again.
The facts that trip children up: 4 × 7 = 28, 4 × 8 = 32 and 4 × 12 = 48.
If a fact goes missing: Double, then double again. 4 × 7: double 7 is 14, double 14 is 28.
