Year 4: Multiplication Tables Check

We were delighted to host a Parent Workshop this week focused on the Multiplication Tables Check (MTC). The aim of the session was to help parents understand what the MTC is, why it is important and how they can support their children at home.

The MTC is a statutory online assessment for Year 4 pupils, designed to check their quick recall of multiplication facts up to 12 × 12. It consists of 25 questions, with only six seconds to answer each one, making speed and accuracy equally important. The check helps schools identify which pupils may need additional support in their maths learning, particularly in arithmetic and reasoning.

During the workshop, Mr Clark demonstrated how the digital assessment works and explained how children are gently prepared for it through fun practice activities, games and times tables challenges in class. Some useful websites that the children can use to practice are below:

It was wonderful to see so many parents getting involved and showing such enthusiasm and support for their children’s learning.

Thank you to everyone who attended - your involvement makes a big difference!
