From our extensive testing we have found that using the mouse to click on the on-screen number pad takes longer than other methods.There is little or no time for a child to correct this entry before the 6 seconds is up. For example, if 10 x 6 is answered with 0 it probably means that the 6 has not been pressed correctly.


Not only that, we give links to both on-screen tables practice and written worksheets which will help children to master the tables they are unsure of. We analyse the results and give clear guidance as to which times tables your child need more practice with. Now we come to the important bit: the beauty of our check is that there is a detailed answer sheet which is printable and shows exactly which tables are known. It is hard, requires maximum concentration and tables really do need to be known ‘off by heart’. However, we do not recommend taking this check too may times. They will also be able to find the quickest way of inputting answers and even try it on different devices. How can our Multiplication Tables Check help?ĭesigning a similar check means that children can become familiar with the layout and timing and gain confidence before taking the real check. The check can be taken using a keyboard on a PC, using the mouse to click on the number pad, or using an i-pad or i-phone. (See What is the MTC? for more information.) We also follow the exact specification on the minimum and maximum number of questions taken from each times table. There will be 25 questions with 6 seconds to answer and with a 3 second gap between questions. Our Multiplication Tables Check follows the exact specification as laid out in the KS2 National Curriculum Assessments published by the Standards & Testing Agency.
