The 2026 Multiplication Tables Check
 
This term the children in year 4 are required to complete a multiplication check. 
 
The multiplication check is an online test in which pupils are required to answer 25 times tables questions.  These questions will check their fact knowledge from the 2 times tables up to the 12 times tables and they will have 6 seconds to answer each question. 
 
The best way for them to be successful is to practice, practice, practice.  All children have logins for TTRockstars which they can access in school and at home, as well as visiting Maths Frame website which they are familiar with.
