Excellent Mental Maths

This academic year, in my role as Maths leader, I am keeping track of the progress children make with their mental maths, in particular their rapid recall of times tables.  Children in Years 3 - 6 (and those in Year 2, who are ready) complete a weekly times table grid in 4 minutes.  Their score is recorded and we celebrate the following mile-stones:

2x, 5x and 10x tables completed within 4 minutes
50% of the grid completed within 4 minutes
75% of the grid completed within 4 minutes
100% of the grid completed withing 4 minutes

It has been fantastic to see children applying and challenging themselves to beat their last score. 

Max and Willow are now able to complete the grid within 4 minutes, so have a new 'time challenge': they now  have to complete the grid in the fastest time possible.  (Miss Williams and I are joining them for this part of the challenge!)

Well done to both Max and Willow for their continued application with their mental maths.
