Fluency in times tables is one of many important aims of the UK 2014 National Curriculum and underpins many mathematical concepts. Teaching and learning times tables are a priority at St. Dunstan's Catholic School because we believe that knowing the times tables (and their associated division facts) supports mathematical learning and understanding and those children who have a strong grasp of them tend to be more self-assured when learning new concepts.
Multiplication Tables Check
To determine whether pupils can recall their times tables fluently, which is essential for future success in mathematics, children in Year 4 will sit a formal, online assessment, known as the Multiplication Tables Check. The formative and summative assessments we do throughout the school year, along with this formal assessment, will help us to identify pupils who have not yet mastered their times tables, so that additional support can be provided. Please speak to your child's teacher if you are unsure of how to support them at home with their times tables.
