Times Tables
The expectation is that children in Year 5 are fluent in their recall of the times tables facts up to 12 x 12 and the corresponding division facts.
Regular practise and review helps keep skills sharp.
There are many different ways of learning these such as: web-based games (such as TTRS), singing and rote format.
