Four in Four - Multiplication Set C 2 digit number x 4

The "Four in Four" multiplication activity from KS2Gems is a fast-paced and engaging exercise designed for Year 3 students to sharpen their multiplication skills. The task requires pupils to rapidly complete four written calculations, each involving the multiplication of a two-digit number by four, within a strict time limit of four minutes. The activity is structured into a series of ten sheets, each containing a different set of multiplication problems. For example, Sheet 1 presents problems such as 21 x 4 and 32 x 4, while Sheet 10 offers more challenging calculations like 94 x 4 and 85 x 4. This exercise not only reinforces arithmetic proficiency but also encourages speed and accuracy under timed conditions.

To aid in the learning process and ensure understanding, an answer key is provided for each sheet. The answer key lists the correct results for the multiplications, which serves as a quick reference for students or educators to check the accuracy of the completed work. For instance, the answers for Sheet 1 include 12 x 4 equals 48 and 14 x 4 equals 56, while the answers for Sheet 10 show 50 x 4 equals 200 and 77 x 4 equals 308. This comprehensive approach to multiplication practice is an excellent way for children to build confidence in their mathematical abilities and achieve fluency in basic multiplication facts.
