The Big Times Table Challenge 4

The Big Times Table Challenge 4 is a rigorous and exciting mathematical exercise tailored for Year 5 students to test and enhance their multiplication and division skills. The challenge consists of a comprehensive set of 100 questions that cover various arithmetic operations including multiplication, division, and squares of numbers. Students are tasked with completing all questions within a 5-minute timeframe, although the exact time taken is recorded if they finish in under 5 minutes. This not only encourages speed but also accuracy in basic calculations.

The worksheet, created by KS2Gems in 2020, is a mix of times table questions, square numbers, and simple division problems designed to reinforce students' understanding of these concepts. Questions range from straightforward multiplications such as '8 x 8' and '7 x 7', to square numbers like '2²' and '16²', as well as division calculations including '108 ÷ 9' and '16 ÷ 4'. The challenge is an excellent tool for teachers to assess the proficiency of their pupils in handling quick mental arithmetic. At the end of the exercise, students can tally their correct answers to give a score out of 100, providing a clear measure of their numerical aptitude.
