Join Andrew Taylor for this session looking at supporting children to succeed in the Multiplication Tables Check in Year 4. It is important that the focus is not on simply memorising facts, but rather on the connections between multiplication, division and reasoning about related facts. These strategies will support the deeper understanding, and therefore longer-term retention, of multiplication facts.
This session will consider how to develop children’s deeper understanding, fluency and application of multiplication facts to enable them to be successful not only in the Multiplication Tables Check but also with their wider mathematical studies.
