Y4 Multiplication Check-June 2023
This year the Year 4's will be completing a national multiplication check week beginning 20th June. This is will be completed on a tablet/ipad and consist of the children answering 25 times tables facts (multiplication only) with 6 seconds to answer each one. There is no pass or fail mark but the children should be constantly learning and revising their times tables up to 12 times 12 as much as possible. Children have been practising in school on Times Tables Rockstars completing the 'Soundcheck' as this is timed just like the multiplication check. If they could also practise at home on TT Rockstars this would be a great help. Please see the letter attached below which was handed out to parents with details of the check.

The children should now know all their times tables up to 12x12 and should continue to practice regularly on the TT Rockstars website to improve their speed and fluency.
