Maths

Every child in KS2 has a Times Tables Rockstars (TTRS) account and we encourage children to regularly access this app/website to support their fluency and accuracy with multiplication tables.

The following are the expectations with regards to children learning their times tables:

By the end of year 2, all children need to learn their 2x, 5x and 10x tables fluently.
By the end of year 3, all children need to continue to practise their 2x, 5x and 10x tables but to also learn their 3x, 4x and 8x tables.
By the end of year 4, children should learn the 6x, 7x, 9x, 11x and 12 x tables so that they able able to recall multiplication and division facts up to 12 x 12. For example, 7 x 6 = 42. Also 42 ÷ 7 = 6. All children sit the National Multiplication Tables Check at the end of Year 4.
Throughout Year 5 and 6, children need to practise and consolidate their knowledge of multiplication facts and the associated division skills – they need to maintain their speed and accuracy for both multiplication and division and then link this knowledge to areas such as finding fractions of amounts and working out percentages.
