Year 4 Times Tables Challenge
Date: 25th Sep 2015 @ 10:04pm
It is absolutely imperative that children learn their times tables. In order to access the increasing demands of the new Maths curriculum, they must be able to recall them quickly. The only way to do this is practise, practise, practise! I have provided some links to useful websites below.
Every Friday, Year 4 will have a times tables test which enables them to achieve different levels. There are 5 challenges in total, each with its own certificate. It is timed so that children have to KNOW their tables without needing to count up.
The levels are:
Bronze: 30 questions on 2, 5 and 10 times tables to answer in 90 seconds.
Silver: 30 questions on 3 and 4 times tables to answer in 90 seconds.
Gold: 39 questions on 6, 7 and 8 times tables to answer in 2 minutes
Platinum: 42 questions on 9, 11 and 12 times tables to answer in 2 minutes.
Diamond: 100 mixed questions to answer in 3 minutes.

The Percy Parker songs are another good way of learning your tables. You can find them on YouTube by searching for Percy Parker (e.g. 3x ) Times Tables Song.
