Number Fact Families is a maths game where you need to work out the collection of related addition and subtraction or multiplication and division fact family relationships given 3 randomised numbers. Recognising fact families is an important number concept where you can recognise inverse operations such as 3 + 5 = 8 and 8 - 3 = 5.

This game has differing levels of difficulty including challenging equations involving negative numbers.

What is the Multiplication Tables Check

The Multiplication Tables Check (MTC) is a key stage 2 assessment to be taken by pupils at the end of year 4 (in June). The MTC's purpose is to ensure the times tables knowledge is at the expected level. In the 2022/2023 academic year, the multiplication tables check (MTC) is statutory for primary schools.

The Multiplication Times Tables Check is an online test where the pupils are asked 25 questions on times tables 2 to 12. For every question, you have 6 seconds to answer, and in between the questions, there is a 3-second rest. Questions about the 6, 7, 8, 9, and 12 times table come up more often. The questions are generated randomly based on the rules of the MTC.

How to prepare

A good way to prepare is to start early and build a daily routine practising the times tables. With regular practise you will learn all the questions and gain confidence. We suggest practising 10 to 15 minutes a day for optimal results.

A good start is first to make the five step plans for all the times tables to ensure you made all the questions and have good basic knowledge of the times tables. Then you make the MTC test sample on this page and see how you are doing and where to focus on. When you like to improve your speed or focus on a few times tables, you can use the speed test, diplomas, worksheets or play games like Blocky Multiplication and My Smart Horse to practise.

The year 4 Multiplication Tables Check trial run on this page will help one become more comfortable reading and answering on a screen. The Multiplication Tables Check trial results can be downloaded and printed at the end of the test.

An animated sequence that describes how sounds occur when objects vibrate. The clip illustrates the route sound waves take through the air to our ears, causing messages to be sent to our brains as we recognise or 'hear' a sound. We are told that the faster something vibrates, the higher the note it produces.

Pupils could explore how sounds are made by vibrating objects. They could try twanging strings of different thickness. Can they prove the point made in the clip that 'the faster something vibrates, the higher the sound will be'? Davina in the clip says that thinner strings vibrate faster than thicker ones and so make higher sounds. The children could experiment with rubber bands stretched across a plastic tub. Do they agree with Davina?

Sound waves can travel through solids (such as metal, stone and wood), liquids (such as water) and gases (such as air).

Sounds are made when objects vibrate. The vibration makes the air around the object vibrate and the air vibrations enter your ear. You hear them as sounds.

Lesson: What are pitch and frequency? | Teacher Hub | Oak National Academy

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
An investigation using pieces of string to produce sounds with different pitches. A string has been attached to a weight. When the string is plucked, it is easy to see the vibrations producing the sound. When extra weights are added, the pitch becomes higher as the string becomes tighter and vibrates faster. The pitch of the string can be affected by its length and thickness.

The clip could be used at the end of a lesson on sound, after pupils have carried out a carousel of activities investigating factors that affect pitch, like blowing across bottles filled with different amounts of water, plucking thick and thin strings and twanging different lengths of a ruler over the end of the table. What do they notice about the pitch of the note? Do they notice any patterns emerging (such as thicker strings, larger amounts of air or water produce lower notes)? These findings should be explained and linked to the speed of the vibrating material, demonstrating how slower vibrations produce lower sounds. The clip could be paused before each mini experiment for the pupils to predict results. Playing the remainder of the clip should enable them to check the accuracy of their predictions as well as assess their understanding of the concept.
