Times Tables

Dear parents and carers,

We are having a whole school push on children learning and knowing their times tables. Children who are secure and confident in their times tables become far more fluent and successful mathematicians, and those that lack confidence can really start to struggle by Year 5 and 6.

We teach times tables at school, but we would be grateful if you could support your children in learning and practising their times tables at home, as much as possible as this is proven to help embed their learning.

Here are the times tables and calculations your child should know by the end of the year:

Year 1 To know and understand the 2 times table, 5 times table, 10 times table
Children should also know all doubles and halves to 10

Year 2 To know and understand the 2, 5 and 10 times tables and all corresponding division facts.
Children should also be able to recognise odd and even numbers to 10

Year 3 To know and understand the 3 times table, 6 times table, 4 times table, 8 times table and all corresponding division facts

Year 4 To know all times tables and corresponding division facts
Teach explicitly 7, 9, 11 and 12 times tables
Times Table Assessment in the Summer Term

Year 5 Regular practise and revision of all times tables and corresponding division facts
To know and understand square numbers, cube numbers and prime numbers

Year 6 Regular practise and revision of all times tables and corresponding division facts
To know and understand multiplication and division facts, involving decimals, fractions and percentages.

A letter is coming home with every child explaining ways you can support your child with their times tables. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to get into contact with your child's class teacher or Miss Murray, our Maths lead.

Thanks in advance for your support.

Best wishes

Mrs R
