Each week the children will have to learn a times table which they will need to practice at home. When they achieve good scores for three consecutive weeks, the children will then be given a different times table to learn. They will be expected to recall these multiplication facts quickly and accurately.
Children can learn their times tables in a variety of ways such as:
- Saying them out loud
- Singing different songs
- Writing them down
- Dice games
- Playing games online (there are lots of different ones to choose from depending on your child's preferred learning style)

- Lots of
- Multiply
- Multiplied by
- What is the product of
