Times Tables

In Year 2, we focus on the 2-, 5- and 10-times tables to ensure the children are fully secure on these and can recall these at speed in preparation for KS2. Each week the children will complete various activities to support their understanding and recall of these times tables.

The times tables can be practised at home on Maths shed, Purple Mash, using some of the links below or by watching some of the fun videos attached to this webpage.
