What age will children have learned all their timestables?

[fourseasonsinaday]

Just wonder what is the primary school target for learning timestbles and division tables?

Year 4

Hi fourseasonsinaday:

According to the draft national curriculum the aim is for children to know their times tables to x12 by the end of Key Stage 2 Lower (so end Y4 - age 9) - link here: media.education.gov.uk/assets/files/pdf/d/draft%20national%20curriculum%20for%20mathematics%20key%20stages%201%202.pdf (right click and on find type times tables - it will take you to page 11 of 28 of the proposed maths curriculum - last sentence of preamble before grids.

HTH

which is the same as the current National Curriculum. The draft curriculum is open to consultation and may never become statutory (the last version was scrapped at the final hurdle)

DD2 - Y4/Y5

DD1 and me - Never (we are both dyslexic, neither of us will ever know our tables without recourse to fingers and counting on from ones we can remember.)

Doesn't matter at all, I have A level maths, DD1 will, hopefully get a decent GCSE.

I'm in my late twenties and still can't do up to x12 (apart front the easy ones like x2/3/5/10)

Next year calculators will no longer be banned in the KS2 tests
