A multiplication table shows how an amount increases when you multiply it. A multiplication table is a far better technique to calculate rather than using repeated addition, since you have all of the repeated additions to create the total. The table of 4 creates a total for you when multiplying 4 and another amount. When you see 4 x 3 = 12 you understand that it 3 groups of 4, and you know that 4 + 4 + 4 = 12.
Using tables is easier, rather than multiplying, when you learn multiplication. A multiplication table tells you how an amount increases depending upon how that amount is multiplied. It helps you calculate faster, and to solve problems if you are given a multiplication table or you create a table to help you calculate faster.
This example of a "Table of 4" shows you the totals of multiplying the number 4 by all the other common whole numbers. For instance, the the five in 4 x 5 = 20. You can use the table in real life, for example, if you are counting legs on a four-legged chair (4 legs on a chair) or wheels on a four wheeled vehicle (4 wheels on a vehicle) and so forth.
Continually practicing your basic math fact on the Table of 4 will help you improve in math along with existing curricular school and non-curricular activities. once you start in making the time to practice and review the Table of 4, it will be easy to remember and use.

Multiplication is repeated addition. Here's how the Table of 4 shows that:
4 × 1 = 4
4 × 2 = 4 + 4 = 8
4 × 3 = 4 + 4 + 4 = 12
4 × 4 = 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16
4 × 5 = 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 20
4 × 6 = 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 24
4 × 7 = 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 28
4 × 8 = 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 32
4 × 9 = 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 36
4 × 10 = 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 40
