In Year 2 the children should have learned the 2x, 5x and 10x tables.
In Year 3 we focus on learning 3x, 4x and 8x tables and their respective division facts.
Every pupil will be expected to know their times tables up to 12 x 12 by the time they reach the end of primary school.
Under the new measure, all children will have their multiplication skills checked at the age of 11 as part of the government’s commitment to giving every child an excellent education.
The Department for Education confirmed the government’s intention to introduce an online multiplication tables check to be taken by pupils at the end of year 4 from the 2019 to 2020 academic year.
