Some tips for helping your child with
multiplication tables
Our Targets
Your child is working on one of the targets below. Their target
is highlighted.
YEAR 5
End of year expectation:
Recall quickly multiplication facts up to 10 × 10, use to multiply pairs of multiples of 10 and
100 and derive quickly corresponding division facts.
Miss Malicka

Should
I can derive and recall multiplication facts for the 2, 3, 5 and 10 times-tables; I can
recognise multiples of 2, 3, 5 & 10
Could
I can derive and recall multiplication facts for the 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 10 times-tables; I
can recognise multiples of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 & 10
Ms Stanton and Mrs Gane
Must
I can derive and recall multiplication facts up to 10 x 10 in the right order
Should
I can recall quickly multiplication facts up to 10 × 10 in a different order
Could
I can recall quickly multiplication facts up to 10 × 10 and quickly derive
corresponding division facts.
Miss Barnett
Must
I can recall quickly multiplication facts up to 10 × 10
Should
I can recall quickly multiplication facts up to 10 × 10 and quickly derive
corresponding division facts.
Could
I can use knowledge of place value and multiplication facts to 10 × 10 to derive
related multiplication and division facts for example 8 × 7 = 56 so 4 × 7 = 28

NOTES FOR PARENTS / CARERS
Children need lots of practice in multiplication tables so that they are able to quickly
recall the facts to help them with their maths at school. They should be able to answer
e.g. ‘What is 6 multiplied by 3?’ as quickly as they can answer ‘What is your name?’
Check that your child can:
•
•
Use some of the mathematical words for multiplication. These include: multiply,
times, multiplied by, product (the result when 2 numbers are multiplied together
e.g. the product of 7 and 6 is 42), multiple of (e.g. 24 is a multiple of 6) square
number (the result when a number is multiplied by itself).
Children should also learn the division facts that go with multiplication facts. This
is known as the inverse. Give multiplication facts quickly and work out division
facts to go with them e.g. 4 x 6 = 24, so 24 ÷ 6 = ?
Questions to ask your child:
•
•
•
•
•
What is 7multiplied by 7? What is 7 squared?
What is the product of 8 and 4?
Can you tell me a multiple of 6 that’s more than 24?
Is 72 a multiple of 9? How did you decide?
Write down the multiples of 6. What patterns do you notice?
FUN ACTIVITIES TO DO AT HOME
Times tables
Say together the six times table forwards, then backwards. Ask your child questions,
such as:
Nine sixes?
Six times four?
Three multiplied by six?
How many sixes in 42?
Forty-eight divided by six?
Six times what equals sixty?
Repeat with the seven, eight and nine times tables.
Left overs
• Take turns to choose a two-digit number less than 50.
• Write it down. Now count up to it in fours. What number is
left over?
• The number left is the number of points you score, e.g.
Choose 27.
Count: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24.
3 left over to get to 27.
So you score 3 points.
•
The first person to get 12 or more points wins.
Now try the same game counting in threes, or in fives.
Can you spot which numbers will score you points?
ACTIVITIES USING THE MULTIPLICATION GRID
Please note, that you should work with the times tables that your child is
learning. This may not be the whole grid!

Shade in all the tables facts that your child knows, probably the 1s, 2s, 3s,
4s, 5s and 10s.
Some facts appear twice, e.g. 7 x 3 and 3 x 7, so cross out one of each.
Are you surprised how few facts are left?
There might only be 10 facts to learn. So take one fact a day and make up a
silly rhyme together to help your child to learn it,
e.g. nine sevens are sixty-three, let's have lots of chips for tea!
Go through e.g. x2 table. Use this to work out x4 table by doubling. Also
look at links between x5 and x10 tables (halving / doubling).
Play ‘buy one, get 3 free’ – If I know that 4 x 3 = 12, then I also know
3 x 4 = 12, 12 ÷ 4 = 3 and 12 ÷ 3 = 4. Pick a fact and challenge your child
to write the other 3 facts.
