Wales Primary SchoolMultiplication Facts Help
- Knowing times tables facts is crucially important to your child’s progression in their mathematics education.
- Without a deep understanding of multiplication and division facts, children frequently get ‘lost’ when it comes to do
anything with fractions and any multiplication or division with larger numbers. - Many mental maths activities require a quick recall of multiplication and division facts.
- Children who are secure in their times tables knowledge are able to get to grips with trickier tasks straight away and are far more successful.
- Really ‘knowing’ times tables means a child will be able to recall any of the multiples of a times table out of order within 3 seconds as well as knowing the matching division facts i.e. 4 x 6 = 24 as well as 24 ÷ 6 = 4.
Please use the website links and the resources below to help your child improve on their recall, and quick derivation, skills.
