Times Tables
Please practise your times tables for 5-10 minutes every day. You'll be astonished at the progress you'll make and how much it'll help you to improve in all areas of maths.
21 Number Facts
The principles behind this system are explained in the document below. In order to practise these facts, children complete the 21 Number Facts chart every day at school. This chart is available to print as a PDF from this class page so children can practise at home, preferably on a daily basis. It is not a “race” to finish it as quickly as possible. Children should be encouraged to “say in their heads” every number fact they are completing so that this learning is embedded. For instance, “7 x 8 = 56”, rather than simply writing an answer.
This short clip from Komodo Maths clearly explains the theories behind it all.

New Olympic Times Table Scheme
By the end of year 4, the expectation is that most children should be on Championship (i.e. they have completed Gold twice).
The test paper will change weekly as it is randomly generated. We will be testing the children weekly using the following site: http://www.timestables.me.uk/printable-pdf-quiz-generator.htm
Children will have 3 minutes to complete the test and will need to complete each level twice to move on.
Please select the following options for the times tables to test:
(a) Both options (times by and divide by) for type of questions to test.
(b) Number of questions to choose for each test in brackets.
Finalist (24): 2, 5, 10 times tables
Bronze (30): 2, 3, 4, 5, 10 times tables
Silver (30): 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10 times tables
Gold (36): 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 times tables
Championship (60): 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 times tables
Olympic (95): 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 times tables
Examples of each times tables test - the questions will change weekly
