Times Tables: 3, 4 and 6 · Learning goals
Learn the 3s, 4s and 6s times tables with smart tricks: 4s are double the 2s, and 6s are double the 3s.
Why it matters
Doubling a known fact gives kids a reliable way to find any 4s or 6s fact, even if they forget it.
Knowing these facts quickly is a third grade goal and makes division, fractions and area much easier.
Kids who know their tables feel more confident and enjoy harder math more.

Lesson preview
This is the real lesson text your child hears, read aloud by a friendly voice.
Count by 3s: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15. So 5 × 3 = 15.
Times 4 is double, double! 4 × 6: double 6 is 12, double 12 is 24.
Times 6 is double the 3s. 3 × 7 = 21, so 6 × 7 = 42.
Break apart a hard fact: 6 × 8 = 5 × 8 + 1 × 8 = 40 + 8 = 48.
For parents
Learning sticks best when kids use it in real life. Here are simple ideas from this course.
Practice in the car: you say a 3s fact, your child doubles it to get the 6s fact. "3 × 4 is 12, so 6 × 4 is 24!"
