Times Tables

Our aim is for all of our children to leave Yr 4 with a secure knowledge of their number facts. To achieve this, different year groups focus on learning specific tables while recapping the ones they know.

Year 1: 2x, 10x, 5x,
Year 2: 2x, 10x, 5x, 3x
Year 3: 2x, 10x, 5x, 3x, 6x, 12x, 4x, 8x
Year 4: 2x, 10x, 5x, 3x, 6x, 12x, 4x, 8x 7x, 9x, 11x
Year 5 and 6: Revision, Revision, Revision!
 

Teaching of timetables happens in many fun and varied ways. Children generally start with counting forwards from 0 in multiples then counting back from 12x that number to 0. When secure, children should count forward and backward from random multiples of the table they are learning and then move onto recalling x out of order e.g. 7 x 3 = 21
The children have weekly mini assessments that focus on their x tables and half-termly multiplication checks to assess their progress.

All children have access to Times Table Rockstars, which is an online platform that encourages children to practise multiplication and division facts for up to 12 x 12. Awards are given for improving their speed and accuracy as well as giving them the opportunity to compete against other pupils.
