Times Tables - children have access to many websites/apps through the school website Tabecat page. For times tables, TTRockstars is a great way to practise and it would be helpful if they could have a go at least once a week on the 'Soundcheck' section on this, they can of course play the other games on this too.

If you do not have access to a computer then try these alternatives to practise times tables:
If you do not have access to a computer then try these alternatives to practise times tables:
Rock,Paper, Scissors: play in pairs. Put hands behind your back then show a number of fingers (can either use one or two hands depending on their level) the first person to multiply the two sets of hands together wins. (Example: If A shows 4 fingers and B shows 2 then this is 4 x 2 the winner is the person who shouts out 8).

Memory game (a.k.a. Kim's Game) - write out 12 answers (products) and 12 multiplication calculations (4 x 6, 4 x 8, 4 x 12 and so on) for the child to match the answer (product) to the calculation. You can just focus on the timestable your child is working on or a mixture.

Splat! - write down some answers (products) from a times table and say out a calculation such as 6 x 6, the child then has to splat the answer when they see it (they can use a fly swat or just their hand). Keep going until finished. They could also be timed and try to beat their time!

Maths Awards - focus on one question and have a go together, it is often best if they find a particular question tricky to stay on that question for a little while rather than trying out a new one every time - but this is up to you at home. When I test them at school, I will ask them which question they want me to test them on as this is usually the one they have worked on at home. If you need to see the Maths Award, your child is on then please use the tab above.

Please do not rush your child through these, as these are maths skills needed to be embedded in their learning and a solid understanding is required.

Sumdog - children all know this one! They use their usual log in and quite simply play the maths games. As you may already know with Sumdog, the app actually constantly tests the child and their maths knowledge. A plea to parents - please do not tell your child any of the answers even if they get on their knees and beg you! This is because the questions asked relate to their correct answers and gives them an appropriate level that it thinks they are working at.
