Ryarsh Primary School – Time Tables Policy
At Ryarsh, the quick recall of multiplication and division facts (times tables) are viewed with high importance. The ability to recall these facts quickly enables children to answer related questions with ease.
It is therefore important that we approach the teaching and testing of times tables in a similar and progressive format from Year 2 to Year 6.
The National Curriculum expectation of times tables in each Year Group is as follows:
Year 2: 2x, 5x, 10x
Year 3: 3x, 4x, 8x
Year 4: 6x, 7x, 9x, 11x, 12x
Year 5: All x and ÷ facts (12×12)
Year 6: All x and ÷ facts (12×12) and related language/symbols e.g. % and square root
We have decided to follow a mountain profile building up the x tables in a methodical and progressive format, ensuring that facts are retained and revised along the journey.
