Well done to our Y4 pupils who completed the national Multiplication Tables Checker (MTC) this week. They all tried their best with this tricky, time bound test.
The MTC is a national test which all Y4 pupils are required to complete by the DFE. It is an online timed test of quick fire times tables questions. This test can be particularly tricky as it is fast, digitalised and there is no going back if the wrong digit is accidentally pressed, which can be off putting when in a timed situation. It takes a great deal of resilience to complete. We are very proud of everyone who worked hard on Times Tables Rock Stars in the run up to the test, meaning that they had developed their confidence to complete it. Times Tables knowledge is so beneficial for KS2 maths, so although this is a difficult test, the principles of learning tables is something that we encourage for successful learning.
