Recall Multiplication and Division Facts Target Board

KS2Gems has developed a dynamic educational tool called Target Boards, specifically crafted to enhance the recall of multiplication and division facts among Year 4 students. These boards serve as an engaging method to review and practice times tables up to 12 x 12. By incorporating these Target Boards into the classroom, teachers are able to facilitate short, focused sessions that effectively reinforce key mathematical skills. The boards are versatile and can be utilized at the start or the end of a maths lesson, making them an excellent resource for retrieval practice.

The interactive nature of Target Boards allows them to be used with the entire class or within small group settings. Teachers display the board prominently, ensuring that all students have a clear view, and then provide each child with a whiteboard and pen to participate in the activities. The boards are designed to accommodate various learning levels, allowing teachers to simultaneously challenge different groups by issuing tailored instructions. For instance, a teacher might instruct students to identify all the multiples of 3 on the board, prompting an engaging and educational exercise in number recognition and multiplication facts.
