Times Tables

Please practise your times tables for 5-10 minutes every day. You'll be astonished at the progress you'll make and how much it'll help you to improve in all areas of maths. We'll spend the Autumn Term revisiting the times tables facts we should already know.

21 (or 36) Number Facts

The principles behind this system are explained in the document below. This chart is available to print as a PDF from this class page so children can practise at home, preferably on a daily basis. It is not a “race” to finish it as quickly as possible. Children should be encouraged to “say in their heads” every number fact they are completing so that this learning is embedded. For instance, “seven times eight equals fifty six”, rather than simply writing an answer.

Mathletes Times Tables

* THESE WILL COMMENCE IN THE SPRING TERM*

By Year 5, the expectation is that most children should be able to complete Championship. As the children progress past the Olympic test, we will provide them with tests that contain more challenging multiples and divisors including larger number and decimals.

The test papers will change regularly as they are randomly generated. We will be testing the children weekly using the following site: http://www.timestables.me.uk/printable-pdf-quiz-generator.htm

Children will have 4 minutes to complete the test and a minute to check their answers. They will need to complete each level twice to move on.

Please select the following options for the times tables to test:

(a) Both options (times by and divide by) for type of questions to test.

(b) Number of questions to choose for each test in brackets.

Bronze A (24): 2, 5, 10 (x only)

Bronze B (24): 2, 5, 10 (mixed)

Silver (30): 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10 (mixed)

Gold (36):  2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 (mixed)

Championship (60): 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 (mixed)

Olympic (95): 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 (mixed)

Once children have completed the Olympic test, we have some additional tests that focus on multiplying and dividing using teen numbers and decimals.
