Ten a Day 2, 3 ,4, 5 & 10 Times Table

The "Ten a Day" programme presents a structured approach to mastering multiplication tables, specifically focusing on the 2, 3, 4, 5, and 10 times tables. Each day, from Monday to Friday, students are challenged to complete a column of multiplication questions within a minute. The aim is to reinforce their arithmetic skills and enhance their quick recall of multiplication facts. This task not only serves as a daily mental maths exercise but also as a progress tracker, with a scoring system that allows students to measure their improvement over time. The format is simple and clear, providing a date and name section for personalisation and record-keeping.

The exercise sheets are organised by days of the week, each containing ten multiplication problems that vary in difficulty. After attempting the problems, students can evaluate their performance with a score out of ten, which is recorded at the bottom of each column. This methodical practice is designed to build confidence and proficiency in multiplication, which is a fundamental aspect of mathematics education. By dedicating just a minute each day to this activity, students can significantly improve their numerical fluency. The "Ten a Day" resources are created by KS2Gems, tailored for students to develop a strong foundation in key multiplication facts.
