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!
