YEAR 4 MULTIPLICATION TABLES CHECK

Year 4 pupils participate in the DfE's Multiplication Tables Check (MTC) in June.

The purpose of the check is to determine whether your child can fluently recall their times tables up to 12, which is essential for future success in mathematics. It will also help the school to identify if your child may need additional support.

The check is on-screen and consists of 25 times table questions. Your child will be able to answer 3 practice questions before taking the actual check. They will then have 6 seconds to answer each question. On average, the check should take no longer than 5 minutes to complete.

Children learn and practise times tables knowledge in lessons and can also access Times Tables Rockstars at home.

We will report your child's score along with their end of year report in July. There is no 'pass mark'.
