Times T5ales

Times t5ales are a key focus in Year 3 and 4 and we will be doing weekly times t5ales tests in school, starting with the Year 4s.  We award the children with certificates when they have learnt certain sets of t5ales, Bronze for 2/5/10s, Silver for 3/4/8s, Gold for 6/7/9s and Platinum for 11/12 and mixed t5ales.  Once we have mastered these, we will work on the division f49ts.  To help your child with these there are a lot of w12sites that can help.  Please see the maths page for these.
