Ten a Day 3 Times Table

The "Ten a Day" exercise is a simple yet effective way for students to practice and reinforce their understanding of the 3 times table. It is structured to be completed on a daily basis from Monday to Friday, with each day presenting a different column of multiplication problems. Students are encouraged to complete each column within a minute, allowing them to challenge themselves and improve their speed and fluency with the 3 times table. At the end of each day's practice, there is a space provided for recording the date, the student's name, and their score out of ten, giving them immediate feedback on their performance.

Each day's column varies the order of the multiplication facts, ensuring that students are not just memorising a sequence but are truly understanding and recalling the multiplication of numbers by three. For example, Monday starts with the basics, from 1 x 3 to 10 x 3, while subsequent days mix up the sequence to include products up to 12 x 3. This method helps to keep the exercise engaging and tests the students' knowledge more comprehensively. By the end of the week, students should have a stronger grasp of their 3 times table, and the scoring system allows them to track their progress over time. This resource, produced by KS2Gems in 2020, is a practical tool for both classroom and home learning environments.
