Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check - an assessment tool.

Ahead of the Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check (MTC), this assessment tool helps teachers to decide which multiplication tables their students need to focus on. It is designed to reduce teacher workload. In keeping with the MTC, it does not test 0 and 1 multiplication tables; in line with a Year 4 level, it assumes that most 2, 5, 10 and 11 multiplication tables are secure.
This tool is made up of four documents:
• The Multiplication check student, which can be used independently to simply assess whether multiplication table knowledge is secure. It is divided into four quadrants, focusing on different tables. This could be teacher-marked.
• The Multiplication check student (self-mark) , which is the same as above but it highlights the four quadrants and has boxes to record the score for each quadrant. Children tally up their correct answers in each quadrant box provided. The lowest tallies would then help the teacher to decide which multiplication tables to focus on.
• The Multiplication check - key for teacher helps the teacher decide which multiplication tables to teach based on how the children scored in each quadrant.
• The Multiplication check student answer sheet so that children can self or peer mark
