Count up in steps of 4

Counting in steps of 4 means adding 4 to a number each time you count. This is a great way to practice your addition skills and learn about patterns. When you count in steps of 4 from 0, you are also finding the numbers in the 4 times table. Look at the list below.

• 0 (this is our starting point)
• 0 + 4 = 4 (we've added 4 to 0)
• 4 + 4 = 8 (another 4 added to make 8)
• 8 + 4 = 12 (another 4 added to make 12)

You can continue adding 4 to the last number to build up the 4 times table.

The 4 times table up to 10 is:
1 x 4 = 4, 2 x 4 = 8, 3 x 4 = 12, 4 x 4 = 16, 5 x 4 = 20,
6 x 4 = 24, 7 x 4 = 28, 8 x 4 = 32, 9 x 4 = 36, 10 x 4 = 40

This topic requires you to supply the missing number or the next number in lists that count up in steps of 4. There is one missing number in the missing number lists. The lists count up as far as 52. An example missing number question is:

Question : 16, 20, ▢, 28, 32 Answer : 24

The answer is 24 because 20 + 4 = 24 (and 28 - 4 = 24).

An example next number question is:

Question : 4, 8, 12, 16, .. Answer : 20

The answer is 20 because 16 + 4 = 20 (and 5 x 4 = 20).
