Ten a Day 6 Times Table
Maths Resource Description
The 'Ten a Day' exercise is an engaging and structured approach to mastering the 6 times table. Aimed at enhancing quick recall of multiplication facts, this activity requires students to complete a column of ten multiplication questions each day of the week. Each column is to be completed in one minute, providing a focused and time-efficient method for reinforcing arithmetic skills. The layout is simple, with the days of the week listed from Monday to Friday and each day presenting a new set of multiplication problems involving the number six. Students are encouraged to write down their answers next to each equation, and at the end of the week, they can tally their scores out of ten for each day to monitor their progress.
The 'Ten a Day' worksheets are designed to vary the sequence of the multipliers, ensuring that the exercise remains challenging and prevents rote memorisation of the order. This variation helps to truly test the student's understanding and recall of the 6 times table. At the end of each day's column, there is space for the date and the student's name, allowing for personalised tracking of performance over time. The worksheets are also an excellent tool for teachers to assess the proficiency of their students in a quick and consistent manner. The scoring system at the bottom of each day's column provides immediate feedback and a sense of achievement for the students as they aim to improve their scores throughout the week.
