Children in Year 4 will be taking their Multiplication Table Check (MTC) between Monday 1st June and Friday 12th June. We have included some information below about what the MTC is and how you can support your child at home before they take the test.

What is the Multiplication Tables Check

The Multiplication Tables Check (MTC) is a DfE Key Stage 2 assessment to be taken by all Year 4 pupils in June. The purpose of the MTC is to make sure the times tables knowledge is at the expected level. The MTC is an online test where the pupils are asked 25 questions on times tables 2 to 12. For every question they have 6 seconds to answer and in between the questions there is a 3 second rest. Questions about the 6, 7, 8, 9, and 12 times table come up more often. The questions are generated randomly based on the rules of the MTC.

If possible, over the half-term break, please support your child by encouraging them to practise at home for 15 minutes every day using a phone, tablet or laptop. Regular short practice will help them build confidence, improve fluency and make the best possible progress and build on the fantastic progress they have made in school so far this year.
