Support Your Child with Maths
When children are fluent in basic number skills, mental arithmetic becomes easier. Practising times tables and other concepts allows children to understand number and number relationships, and to see patterns in numbers. These skills will help them to master key knowledge and move quickly through more complex maths problems with confidence.
When does my child need to know their times tables?
Children are expected to have learnt to:
- Year 1: count in multiples of 2, 5 and 10.
- Year 2: be able to remember and use multiplication and division facts for the 2, 5 and 10 multiplication tables, including recognising odd and even numbers.
- Year 3: be able to remember and use multiplication and division facts for the 3, 4 and 8 multiplication tables, including recognising odd and even numbers.
- Year 4: be able to remember and use multiplication and division facts for the multiplication tables up to 12 x 12.
- Year 5 and 6: revision of all multiplication and division facts for the multiplication tables up to 12 x 12 and identify prime and square numbers.
