Ten a Day 7 Times Table

The "Ten a Day" exercise is a structured practice tool designed to help students master their 7 times table. Each day from Monday to Friday, students are presented with a column of multiplication questions that they aim to complete within one minute. The questions are a mix of multiplication facts involving the number 7, with the products ranging from 7 to 84. The sequence of questions varies daily to keep the challenge fresh and to encourage the recall of multiplication facts rather than rote memorisation of sequence.

At the end of each day's practice, students can score themselves out of ten, providing immediate feedback on their proficiency. The exercise is repeated with a second set of columns, offering a different arrangement of the same multiplication facts to further reinforce learning. This methodical approach not only aids in committing the 7 times table to memory but also helps to improve speed and accuracy in mental arithmetic. The "Ten a Day" sheets are a valuable resource for Key Stage 2 learners, created by KS2Gems, aiming to build confidence and fluency in multiplication.
