Year 4 Multiplication Check

As part of the government’s standardised testing, Year 4 pupils will complete the Multiplication Check during the summer term. In readiness for this, and to secure children’s knowledge and recall of the times tables up to 12x12, we have been practicing using a range of techniques including regular practicing, the use of songs, counting sticks and regular sessions on Times Table Rock Stars (TTRS). We would encourage all children to use TTRS daily to help develop their confidence . Just 10 minutes a day can make a vast impact on children’s knowledge. There are regular tournaments between classes and children enjoy competing with friends. In addition there is a Soundcheck option, which mimics the official multiplication check and provides opportunity for the children to practice and beat their personal best. The children are familiar with this facility and will be keen to share their progress with you.
