The Multiplication Times Table Challenge 5 Objectives

The Multiplication Times Table Challenge 5 is an engaging activity designed for Year 4 students to test their proficiency in multiplication. This challenge, created by KS2Gems in 2020, presents a series of multiplication questions that cover a range of times tables. The objective is for students to complete all 100 multiplication problems within a five-minute timeframe. If they finish before the time limit, they are encouraged to record the time taken to complete the challenge.

The worksheet includes a variety of multiplication pairs from the basic 1x1 to the more challenging 12x12, ensuring a comprehensive review of the times tables. Questions such as 11 x 12, 4 x 7, and 9 x 3 are interspersed with others like 7 x 12, 6 x 8, and 12 x 10, aiming to keep students alert and engaged throughout the challenge. The format of the challenge is straightforward, with a space provided for the student's name and a section to note the time taken if completed in under five minutes. At the end of the exercise, students can tally their correct answers to determine their score out of 100, providing a clear measure of their multiplication skills.
