Maths worksheets and poster - Doubling to use the 4 x table and 8 x table

In this activity, children will learn to use a quick number trick to multiply numbers by four and eight. Learning the four and eight-times tables is important, but sometimes mental calculations can be useful to find multiplication facts too so, this activity focuses on using the skills of doubling to help find the answers to questions where we need to multiply by four. Children will partition, double and double again to find answers. For higher-ability children, there are 8 x table questions where children will partition, double, double again, double again and put it back together.

Included is a poster which shows the method for display and answers sheets so children can self-mark.
