Fluency and recall in times tables are essential skills that lay the  foundation for success in mathematics. Fluency means being able to quickly and accurately answer multiplication questions, while making links between times table facts. Recall refers to retrieving these facts from memory without hesitation. Together, these skills help pupils tackle more complex problems with confidence, from division to  fractions and beyond. Practising times tables regularly builds speed and confidence, making maths more accessible and enjoyable. Developing strong fluency and recall at home is a vital step in ensuring long-term mathematical success and deep understanding.

We recommend that the sheets below are completed in short sessions, ideally with an adult—there is no harm at all in completing a sheet more than once. The sheets should be done alongside Times Table Rockstars, Hit The Button and other online resources.

If you are not sure which times tables your child is currently learning, please ask their class teacher.
