Times Tables
Term 3
Children will continue to be tested every Friday from 0 x all the way up to 12 x of the times table they are on. When the children move up a times table I will put a sticker into their blue contact book so that you are aware they are progressing.
There are multiple groups for times tables so your child will either be learning the 2s, 5s 3s time tables or division by 2. These are also set on Times Tables Rockstar.
When your child moves up a times table, the first week's test will be in order (0 x 2 =, 1 x 2 =, 2 x 2 = etc) after that the tests will be mixed up (3 x 2 =, 7 x 2 =, 0 x 2 =) to ensure fluent and rapid recall of the multiplication facts. This will also be the same with division so 0 divided by 2, 2 divided by 2, 4 divided by 2 etc.
Children are set 10 minutes of times tables homework on TTRockstars each week. They simply need to play in Garage mode for 10 minutes (this does not need to be all at once and can be spread across the week e.g. 2 minutes per day).
We have seen a positive correlation between the children accessing TTRockstars at home and increased fluency and confidence with their times tables.

Term 1
In Year 2 children are expected to know their 2, 5 and 10 times tables fluently with rapid recall.
Children will be tested every Friday from 0 x all the way up to 12 x of each times table.
During Term 1 we will focus on 2 times tables - once children are frequently scoring 13 out of 13 they will be moved on to the next times table.
The first two tests of each times table will be in order (0 x 2 =, 1 x 2 =, 2 x 2 = etc) after that the tests will be mixed up (3 x 2 =, 7 x 2 =, 0 x 2 =) to ensure fluent and rapid recall of the multiplication facts.
