The Big Times Table Challenge 5

The Big Times Table Challenge 5 is an exhilarating mathematical exercise designed for Year 5 pupils to test and enhance their multiplication and division skills, as well as their knowledge of squares and square roots. Participants are presented with a series of 100 arithmetic problems that they must complete within a 5-minute time frame. The challenge includes a variety of calculations such as finding the square root of 64, squaring the number 2, dividing 108 by 9, and multiplying 7 by 7. The goal is to answer all questions correctly and as swiftly as possible, with the time taken recorded if it is less than the allotted 5 minutes.

The worksheet is a comprehensive test of a child's numerical fluency, covering basic operations and involving a range of numbers. Problems like calculating 17 squared, finding the square root of 225, and dividing 16 by 4 are interspersed with multiplication challenges such as 11 times 10 and 6 times 8. This challenge not only reinforces a child's times table knowledge but also helps them to quickly recall square numbers and develop efficient methods for division. Upon completion, the pupil's score is recorded out of 100, providing a clear indication of their proficiency in these fundamental areas of mathematics. This exercise is an excellent way for children to practice and demonstrate their arithmetic skills, and it is provided by KS2Gems, a resource dedicated to supporting Key Stage 2 learning.
