Fluent understanding of times tables is an essential skill. Multiplication and division facts need to be rapidly recalled and applied.
Practice of times tables should be completed at home very regularly.
You can use the below template to practice times tables. As the times tables get harder from left to right, aim to complete the 1x, 2x, 5x and 10x columns in 3 minutes. Once you're able to do this, keep adding additional columns. The whole test should be completed in under 3 minutes on at least 3 occasions before moving onto the next set of multiplication facts. As you can see below, the number of calculations required increases (as does the number of accumulated times tables facts). The Year 6 record is 2 minutes and 8 seconds for 144 questions!
