Ten a Day 11 and 12 Times Table

The 'Ten a Day' exercise is a daily multiplication practice designed to help students in Year 6 reinforce their knowledge of the 11 and 12 times tables. Each day of the week, students are presented with a column of ten multiplication problems that they are challenged to complete in one minute. The exercises are structured to cover a mix of multiplications with 11 and 12 as factors, ensuring a comprehensive review of these higher-level times tables. Students are encouraged to write their name and the date before they start and are given a score out of 10 to track their progress. The aim is to promote quick recall of multiplication facts, a crucial skill for more advanced mathematical concepts.

The 'Ten a Day' worksheets are divided into different sets, with each set containing a week's worth of practice columns. Every day offers a different combination of problems, varying the sequence and pairing of numbers to prevent rote memorisation and to encourage genuine understanding. At the end of each day's column, there is a space for the student to record their score, enabling both students and teachers to monitor improvement over time. This methodical approach not only helps students become fluent in their 11 and 12 times tables but also builds their confidence and speed in mental arithmetic. The worksheets are a product of KS2Gems, a resource dedicated to supporting Key Stage 2 learning.
