What is a 4×4 Schulte Table?
The 4×4 Schulte Table contains 16 numbers (1–16) arranged randomly in a 4×4 grid. It sits between the beginner 3×3 and the standard 5×5 in difficulty. The 4×4 is ideal for users who have mastered the 3×3 and want to build peripheral vision skills before tackling the more demanding 5×5. The wider grid requires more active use of peripheral vision while still being manageable for developing practitioners.
