Times Tables:
At the end of the year 4 all children are now required to take a times table test. It is therefore incredibly important that times tables are practised regularly, in school and at home to help prepare children for this we will be testing different times tables each week. See below which times tables we will testing each week. As year 4 are now revisiting most of their times tables they will also be tested on the inverse methods (division).
