Multiplication Tables
This is a vitally important skill, which children throughout the school use on a daily basis in many areas of the curriculum. It is paramount that children have a secure knowledge of their times tables and are able to recall these facts quickly and accurately. With this in mind, Phoenix has chosen to introduce the Times Table Challenge. From years 2-6, pupils complete a weekly test that is directly linked to their ability. They must achieve 100% on three consecutive tests to move up to the next level. In order to help pupils, a homework sheet is sent home, which parents can use to help their children learn these facts. We would encourage parents, where possible, to practise these facts with their children on a daily basis.
