Ten a Day 3, 6 and 9 Times Table

The 'Ten a Day' exercise is a series of daily maths drills designed to enhance the multiplication skills of students, focusing specifically on the 3, 6, and 9 times tables. Each day from Monday to Friday, students are challenged to complete a column of ten multiplication questions within a minute, aiming to achieve a perfect score out of ten. The activity is structured to allow for a quick, timed practice, which helps reinforce quick recall of multiplication facts—a critical aspect of mathematical fluency. The exercises are varied each day, ensuring that students are continually engaging with different multiplication problems and are not merely memorising a sequence of answers.

For each session, the students are required to fill in their name and the date before starting the timed challenge. The questions range from simple multiplications, such as 1 x 6, to more complex ones, like 12 x 9. The layout of the worksheet is straightforward, with each day's problems presented in a single column, and a space at the bottom for the student to record their score. This structured approach not only helps with learning and retention of the times tables but also encourages a competitive spirit as students strive to improve their scores daily. The 'Ten a Day' exercises are an excellent tool for teachers and parents to track the progress of their children's multiplication skills over the course of a week.
