The Big Times Table Challenge 3

The Big Times Table Challenge 3 is a stimulating mathematical exercise aimed at Year 6 students to test their proficiency with multiplication tables, square roots, squares, cubes, and basic division. The challenge consists of a series of 100 problems that students must endeavour to complete within a five-minute timeframe. This test not only evaluates their recall of multiplication facts up to 12 but also includes calculations involving square and cube numbers, as well as division problems that require a solid understanding of times tables for quick and accurate answers.

Each question in the challenge is presented in a straightforward format, such as "4² =", "√225 =", or "72 ÷ 12 =", requiring students to compute the answer rapidly. The worksheet is designed to encourage speed and accuracy, with a section for recording the time taken if completed in less than five minutes. The challenge serves as an excellent tool for teachers to assess their students' arithmetic skills and for students to gauge their own progress. Upon completion, students can tally their correct answers to receive a score out of 100, providing a clear measure of their times table mastery. This rigorous and engaging activity is a product of KS2Gems 2020, crafted to enhance the mathematical capabilities of upper KS2 pupils.
