Thank you for coming but let’s explain why you are joining us today

Being able to recall multiplication facts is a key skill for many mathematical skills.

Here are just a few examples:

• Money
• Measuring, especially area and perimeter
• Problem solving skills
• Shopping!
• Percentages, ratio, fractions and decimals

A GUIDE TO THE MTC

• MTC stands for ‘Multiplication Tables Check’.
• Online quiz for year 4 children in England, set by the government.
• Pupils demonstrate their times tables skills, which they’ve been practising for years.
• Helps us to know your children are ready for year 5 maths

• Must be taken in school. This year it begins week beginning Monday 7th June 2027.
• Start with 3 practice questions
• Then 25 multiplication questions (no division)
• For each question, you must enter an answer within 6s
• 3s pause between questions

• Full marks is 25/25 but there’s no pass mark

The expectation is that most children should achieve full marks

• Each school finds out the Local Authority and National average but not each other’s results.
• More guidance can be found here
