📖The 3s Times Table

For 3s, you can add 3 each time: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30. Notice the digits add up to 3, 6, or 9!

📖The 4s Times Table - Double Double!

Here is a trick: 4s are double the 2s! If 2 × 6 = 12, then 4 × 6 = 24 (double 12). This makes 4s easier!

💡

For 4s, find the 2s answer and double it. 4 × 7 = ? First: 2 × 7 = 14. Then: 14 + 14 = 28.

⚠️

These tables require more practice than 2s and 5s. Take your time!
