Ten a Day 2 and 8 Times Table

The 'Ten a Day' exercises are a set of daily multiplication drills designed to enhance the fluency of Year 6 students in their 2 and 8 times tables. Each worksheet presents a column of ten multiplication questions that students are encouraged to complete within one minute. The aim is to provide a quick, focused practice session every day from Monday to Friday, with the exercises varying slightly each day to keep the challenge fresh. The questions mix products of the number 2 and 8 with different multipliers, ensuring that by the end of the week, students have had comprehensive practice with these particular multiplication facts.

At the end of each day's column, there is space for students to record their score out of ten, allowing both them and their teachers to track progress throughout the week. The repetitive nature of this exercise helps to reinforce memory and recall speed, which are crucial for mathematical proficiency. By working through these problems regularly, students can build confidence and improve their ability to quickly solve multiplication problems, an essential skill for more complex maths tasks. The worksheets are clearly laid out and provide a structured approach to mastering the 2 and 8 times tables, with the added goal of completing each set in under a minute adding a fun and competitive element to the learning process.
