In this question, we’ve been given a number chart to help us multiply by four. And we can see that some of the numbers are orange. These are the numbers which we get when we multiply by four. These are the multiples of four. Four, eight, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40. We’re told to use this chart to help us find four times two. To find four times two, we need to skip count by four two times. One, two, four, eight. Four times two is eight.

Now we need to skip count by four nine times to find four times nine. We know that two fours are eight, three fours are 12, four times four is 16, five times four, six times four, seven times four, eight fours, nine fours. Four, eight, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36.
