Times tables
Knowing the times table facts and the related division facts is an important part of the Maths curriculum. The expectation is that the children will know their times tables by the end of Year 4.
Being able to answer questions off by heart helps children enormously in the efficiency of calculations as well as their work on fractions.
We want to make sure all the children know their times table facts so Autumn 2019 saw a revamping of how we do times tables at BPS to ensure high expectations and success!
What is new?
Children from Year 1 to Year 6 will working on learning a times table each week in class. The same times table will be chosen by all of the key stage and can be repeated for several weeks.
The weekly class times table champion will compete in a Key Stage Championship each Friday. The winners of these championships will gain automatic entry into the end of term Super Champions Tournament. The overall winner of this Super Champions Tournament will win a very exciting afternoon of fun to share with all their class mates!
