Multiplication Tables Check

Rachel Metcalfe / 27 May 2022 / Categories: Class Blogs, Year 4

Dear parents and carers,

In June, the Year 4s will be completing the Multiplication Tables Check (MTC). Here is some information about the assessment:

• The assessment consists of 25 multiplication questions up to 12 x 12 e.g. 6 x 8 =
• The questions will be weighted towards more challenging times tables (6, 7, 8, 9, 12).
• Children will have 6 seconds to complete each question.
• Children will have a 3 second gap in between questions.
• The check will be taken on a computer or an I pad.
• There is no pass mark.
• The purpose of the check is to identify which children do not know their multiplication tables so they can receive support in Y5 and 6 before they leave school.
• We will share your child’s score with you.
• Children have been learning their times tables in school and practise daily.
• Over the half term, we recommend that you support children to practise their times tables as much as possible. Here are some useful resources:
