In June, the  statutory, Year 4 multiplication tables check will take place in school. Your Year 4 child will take a short online test to make sure their multiplication knowledge is at the expected level. Pupils are asked to answer 25 questions on times tables from two to 12. They are given six seconds per question, with three seconds rest between each question, so the test should last less than five minutes.

 Questions about the six, seven, eight, nine, and 12 times tables are likely to come up most often, as these are the hardest for most children to learn. It is a good idea to focus on these tricky times tables with your child. Try the site below for test practice at home.

 Firstly, the check is about finding out which children are struggling with their times tables so that they can get extra support. It is not a judgement on what your child can do, but a way for the school to know how to adjust the focus of our teaching, if needed.
