Times Tables

The National Curriculum expectation is that by the end of Year 4 children are able to recall all 12 tables up to 12x12.  In the Summer term children in Year 4 will complete a multiplication tables check.

  • Learning times tables is really important. Here are just some of the ways in which learning tables can benefit your child.
  • By starting with smaller tables and building up, children will learn number rules which will make learning other tables much easier

  • Memorising times tables makes it far quicker and easier for children to work out maths problems in their heads.

  • Beyond memorising times tables, learning and understanding how they work can do wonders for building children’s knowledge of important mathematical concepts. These include fractions, percentages and even shape.

  • Knowing their times tables isn’t just useful for weekly multiplication tests – they also come in handy outside of the classroom! How much would it cost to buy three comics which cost £2 each? Simply calculate 3 x 2!
