Times Table Intervention or Whole School Programme

A whole school approach to boosting times tables
All resources included
Structured and includes answers
(Overview below)

Pupils work through in the order: 5,10,2,4,8,3,6,9,7,11,12.
Each practice and test has 1 ‘tricky teaser’ which tests some of the trickier multiplication facts that may be best ‘learned’.
Pupils practise their individual times table throughout the week and can either mark these practices themselves using the answer sheets provided or they can be marked by an adult. They then to one of these as a test at the end of the week. The answer sheets can either be printed or put up on the IWB.
Pupils have 3 minutes to do each test and need a score of 23/25 in order to progress to the next level.
Put a 3 minute timer on the IWB at the start of each practice and test.
Pupils then have 2-3 minutes afterwards to mark their work.
As pupils work through the colour levels, teachers can mark this off on the tracker (obviously there can be more fun and visual ways to represent this to pupils in their classroom setting). The tracker will probably need to be blown up to A3 or split onto 2 A4 pages.
Pupils work through the tests and repeat the 4 practices / tests each week.
Struggling pupils: complete 25 multiplication questions on their times table, omitting any division facts for the time being. They can still move onto the next ‘colour’ level but with the understanding that they will move onto division when they are ready / completed up to gold with just the multiplication facts.
High performing pupils: complete 25 mixed multiplication questions, both for practices and their weekly test but have a time limit of 2 and ½ minutes.
All of the above are editable, so you can adapt times, scores, tricky teaser questions for your class.
