Regular practise of multiplication tables is imperative if pupils are to be able to rapidly recall and apply this knowledge. You may choose to encourage your child to recite their multiplication tables, you may use quick fire questions with them, you may encourage them to write out their multiplication tables or practise using a number of online games (see the useful websites section).
Pupils will be tested weekly on their multiplication tables, beginning with the 2x table and will progress through the tables in order, before moving on to division facts.
