The Even Bigger Times Table Challenge 5

The "Even Bigger Times Table Challenge 5" is a comprehensive test designed for Year 6 students to assess their proficiency in a wide range of mathematical operations, including multiplication, division, square roots, squares, and cubes. Presented by KS2Gems in 2020, this challenge requires pupils to complete a total of 100 questions within a five-minute time frame, if possible. The test covers foundational arithmetic skills that are essential for mathematical fluency at this stage of education. Questions vary from simple operations like "√9" and "1 x 10" to more complex ones such as "16²" and "8³". The aim of the challenge is not only to test speed but also accuracy in basic calculations.

Students are tasked with a variety of calculations to demonstrate their understanding of numerical relationships and their ability to perform quick mental arithmetic. The challenge includes problems like "540 ÷ 90", "200 x 7", "10³", and "√196", which require students to apply their knowledge of times tables, square numbers, cube numbers, and square roots. The worksheet is structured to encourage students to work efficiently under time pressure, with a section to note the time taken if completed in less than five minutes. This rigorous exercise is a valuable tool for teachers to gauge the arithmetic skills of their students and for students to practice and improve their speed and accuracy in maths. At the end of the challenge, students can tally their score out of a possible 100 points to measure their performance.
