Times Table Tests from 2-12 and User Guide. This approach supports the less confident mathematicians as well as stretching the more able. It provides a scaffolded approach to taking these tests and supports a growth mindset approach.
The User Guide outlines:
Aim of this approach
An explanation about each of the 4 rounds
Tips on delivery and recording of the tests
Guidance and advice on what to teach alongside this approach
I have used many times table tests over the years with 6-11 year old children, and this approach is the one that not only had the most impact, supported children who used to be anxious about times tables.
