Fluency in multiplication and division facts is really important as children continue to develop their Maths knowledge. We spend lots of time learning these concepts in school in different ways and test the children regularly. Badges, stickers and certificates are awarded as the children become confident with them. We really appreciate your help with children learning these.

# data[].attributes.body
In June, all Y4 children across the country will take a multiplication test. This is an on-line test comprising of 25 questions. The children need to answer each question within 6 seconds.
The site above is a great one for practising multiplication facts. Select 'Multiplication Tables Check' from the side menu to help your child become more familiar with the test they will be taking.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
At timestables.co.uk you can easily practise all of your tables. The arithmetic problems are clear and simple so you can immediately get started on practicing your tables. Select one of the times tables you wish to practise from the list below and show what you can do on the speed test, Multiplication Tables Check or printout great worksheets.

Choose the table you want to practise from the following. First you can practise the times tables in sequence and once you have got the hang of that you can practise all the sums in random order for each table. If you have forgotten any answers, just go back to the 'all tables in sequence' page and practise them again thoroughly before trying again.

Once you have got the hang of a number of tables you can select the speed test and choose the tables you want to practise getting quicker at. If you make a mistake, you came see what the right answer is at the end of the test. This will help you learn all of your tables. The speed test is good practise for getting your tables diploma. On the tables diploma the questions are a bit quicker than on the speed test, but if you get all of them right you will get your tables diploma. There are two tables diplomas. The little diploma is made up of 30 questions. Your little diploma shows you can do the 1,2,3,4,5 and 10 times tables. For the big tables diploma you are given 40 questions which include all the tables from 1 to 12.

Learn the times tables in an interactive way with the free math times tables games KS2 and KS1. The game element makes it even more fun learn.

Practise your times tables

Here you can find additional information about practicing times tables at primary school. The 1 times table, 2 times table, 3 times table, 4 times table, 5 times table and 10 times table are usually the first times tables which have to be learned. The 6 times table, 7 times table, 8 times table, 9 times table, 11 times table, 12 times table and of course all the tables in random order are the next step. This is part of KS1 and KS2.

New is the Multiplication Tables Check, this is a key stage 2 assessment to be taken by pupils at the end of year 4, from the 2019 / 2020 academic year onwards. With this check there are asked 25 questions on the times tables 2 to 12.

Not every child finds it easy to learn all the tables, so it is a good idea to keep on practicing them regularly after year 5. There are a few tricks which make it easier to learn the tables and continue to master them, such as putting the smallest number first, which makes it easier for many children to answer correctly. For example 4 x 9 is easier to work out than 9 x 4. Switching the multiplication sum around makes it easier to answer. What also often helps is to use the tables you know well for answering the sums in the more difficult tables. One example of this is 6 x 7, which is often said to be tricky. If you do 5 x 7 first and then add 1 x 7 it is suddenly easier to answer. You can do this the other way round too. For instance with 4 x 7 you can do 5 x 7 first then subtract 1 x 7.

Why do we put so much effort into learning tables? Well, the times tables keep on coming up in the next primary school years and even when you're at secondary school. You don't see them as tables, but as part of bigger mathematical problems. And it isn't only at school, but in your everyday life it is useful to know your times tables well so you can quickly work things out, for instance when you are buying or selling vegetables on the market. If you have any questions, comments or ideas for timestables.co.uk, please use our contact form. We'd be glad to hear from you.

The 5-step plan

Learn the times tables with the 5-step plan. We developed an innovative five step plan to help pupils learn the times tables in an effective and efficient way. This method has been tested at several schools and is recommended by teachers.
The steps are:

Step 1a: View, read aloud and repeat. To get familiar with the table.

Step 1b: Fill in your times tables answers in sequence and check if you got them all right.

Step 2: Drag the correct answers to the questions.

Step 3: Fill in your answers for the mixed questions and check if you got them all right.

Step 4: Multiple choice questions will help you to improve by looking at the questions in a different way.

Step 5: Proof your knowledge and get the diploma.

When you finished the 5 steps you can play the memory game or exercise with the worksheet. Other way to train more are with the tempo test, the 1 minute test or to play the times tables games.

We advise to exercise daily for 15 minutes for maximum result.

Practise your times tables online

Times tables are important and there are not many places where you can learn them quickly and easily, so we have come up with timestables.co.uk! Practicing your tables online is really easy at timestables.co.uk. The times tables games are clear and simple so you can get started right away. Click on one of the tables to get started right away. Fill in the answers in the lines and when you've finished, click on 'check'. You will see right away which answers are correct and which are incorrect. You can also practise different times tables in one exercise so you can test whether you know them all and yu can also look at the times table grid or times tables worksheets.

You can also practise the tables interactively with the free multiplication games. On the times tables games page we now have an answer-dragging game and a table balloons game.

Times tables form the basis for the calculations that you do in the following years, so it's important that you fully understand them.

Do you want to practise more math? Go to Mathdiploma.co.uk - Here you can practise addition, subtraction, multiplying, dividing and a lot more!

We also have a fraction website! On Fractionsweb.co.uk are lots of exercices about simplifying, adding, subtracting, dividing and multiplying fractions. There are fraction games, worksheets and 5-step plans!

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.

We really value the partnership between school and home. The importance of our positive partnership allows our pupils to have the confidence and support that they need to succeed. One way we can do this is having clear expectations of our home work. Here we will lay out our Home Learning work so you are aware of what the children can do at home to further extend their learning.
