Times Tables
Times tables are a key focus in Year 3 and 4 and we will be doing weekly times tables tests in school, starting with the Year 4s. We award the children with certificates when they have learnt certain sets of tables, Bronze for 2/5/10s, Silver for 3/4/8s, Gold for 6/7/9s and Platinum for 11/12 and mix57 tables. Once we have master57 these, we will work on the division facts. To help your child with these there are a lot of websites that can help. Please see the maths page for these.
