Year 4 Multiplication Check
Dear Parent / Carer
This week, your child will be participating in the multiplication tables check.
The purpose of the check is to determine whether your child can fluently recall their times tables up to 12, which is essential for future success in mathematics. It is a statutory assessment that all Year 4 pupils will undertake this year.
Children use an iPad to answer 25 times tables questions. This is something they are well-used to doing as they have practiced throughout the year.
The results will help teachers to identify any gaps in tables knowledge and address these. There is no ‘pass mark’ for the check but we will share the results with parents when they are available.
The checks are not something that your child should worry about and we hope that they see this as part of their normal tables practise.
