Year 3 & 4 (Silver Birch Tree Class)

Year 4 Multiplication Check

From the 2021/22 academic year onwards, schools in England will be required to administer an online multiplication tables check (MTC) to year 4 pupils. The purpose of the MTC is to determine whether pupils can recall their times tables fluently, which is essential for future success in mathematics. It will help schools to identify pupils who have not yet mastered their times tables, so that additional support can be provided. To support the children with their multiplication practice we use ‘Times Table Rockstars’ and ‘Hit The Button’ as an online and fun learning platform which also offer resources to be used in the classroom. For further information about this, please see the Mathematics page on the 'Our Curriculum' page of the school website.

Your child is able to practice their times tables, using the format and layout of the real multiplication check using these websites:
