A you may be aware, all children in Year 4 take part in a Multiplication Table Check. This takes place in June and is designed to measure how well children know their times tables. The test is taken on a computer or laptop and, in short, the children will have 3 practise questions and then 25 multiplication questions. These will be on all times tables from 1-12. Each question must be answered within 6 seconds or less. I have include some additional information below for all who would like to find out more.
Multiplication Information for Parents
In class, we have been focussing on speedy recall of multiplication facts. With this in mind, each week I will be sending home some times table facts for the children to practise and learn. They will be glued into their Spelling Books alongside their spellings for the week. The children also have a multiplication booklet which they can use to practise, if they wish. This can be kept at home and does not need to come into school unless they want to share their hard work.
The children can use plenty of online games to support their speedy recall of facts. Below are some that we regularly use in school.
If you have any questions about the Multiplication Check, please don’t hesitate to ask. (charlotte.pope@ppce.co.uk)
Have a lovely weekend.
