Times Table Knowledge
Dear Parents / Carers,
This year North Borough are continuing to have an emphasis on the children’s times table
knowledge as we feel this underpins a wide range of mathematical concepts. Under the new
maths curriculum all children should be able to recite their tables up to 12 x 12, by the end
of year 4.
Each year group will have a times table to focus over a couple of weeks, the harder tables
have been given more time. Children will be taught the focus table and tested on it weekly.
If children gain 100% at the end of each focus, they will earn themselves a reward.
At the end of the year the children will complete a ‘master test’ which will include all of the
tables they have learnt in the year, last year, those children who scored 98% or higher were
rewarded with a trip to the Cinema.
Below are the times table focus’ so that you are able to support your child alongside the
school. Please visit the school website for more support and links to helpful websites.
Children complete a baseline test during the
first week, they will then complete an
assessment test during the last week to show
their progress.
