The Even Bigger Times Table Challenge 6

The "Even Bigger Times Table Challenge 6" is a comprehensive and fast-paced mathematics test tailored for Year 5 students to assess their proficiency in multiplication, division, and square roots. This challenge, created by KS2Gems in 2020, consists of 100 questions that students must strive to complete within a five-minute time frame. The test includes a variety of problems, such as finding the square root of numbers (√361, √4, √196), calculating squares (12², 15²) and cubes (4³, 5³, 6³), and performing basic division (18 ÷ 9, 36 ÷ 4) and multiplication (9 x 1000, 3 x 6) operations. This rigorous exercise not only tests the students' quick recall of times tables but also their ability to apply mathematical concepts to solve problems efficiently.

The challenge features a mix of questions that cover different aspects of arithmetic. For instance, students must demonstrate their understanding of the relationship between multiplication and division by solving problems like 150 ÷ 3, 28 ÷ 7, and 90 ÷ 10. They also need to apply their knowledge of exponents and roots in questions such as √9, √144, and 11². The test is designed to measure the students' speed and accuracy, with a section to note the time taken if completed in less than five minutes. A score out of 100 is provided at the end to help gauge the students' mastery of the material. This challenge is an excellent tool for reinforcing basic mathematical skills and encouraging mental calculation among young learners.
