Learning at Home
To help with children’s learning, we would encourage them to consolidate their understanding of these facts and mental strategies. This selection builds upon those which have been given in the previous years and gives the foundations of their learning to come.
A solid understanding of these can support children’s school learning and allow them to access the more complex elements of mathematics.
Children may also, occasionally, be given Learn Its. These support children to develop their knowledge and memory of what they will need to know for upcoming topics in maths. This is not homework as such but is sent home to support children’s school work.
Children are also encouraged to access TTRS daily to ensure a rapid recall of the multiplication facts.
Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check
In the summer term, children in year 4 will complete the Multiplication Tables Check (MTC). By year 4, children should know all tables up to 12 x 12 and this check tests children’s recall of these times table facts.
The test is completed on a computer or tablet. Children will answer a series of 25 questions and are given no more than 6 seconds per question to provide an answer. Each question is worth one mark and a total score is calculated for the check. However, there is no pass mark for this test.
Children are encouraged both in and out of school to regularly practise their recall of times table facts. This is done in a variety of ways but largely through the use of Times Table Rockstars, which all children have individual logins for.
More information on the MTC can be found online.
