At Mere School we start the formal teaching of Times Tables in Year 3.
In Key Stage One the children will focus on learning and recalling number bonds, however they will experience counting on and back in steps of 2,5 and 10.
By the start of Year 5 it is expected that most children should know the multiplication facts (and their related division facts) up to 12 x 12 and should be able to recall them quickly.
In Years 5 and 6 we will continue to practise them.
Useful resources to help with learning multiplication facts.
