KS2 MATHS

Just wanted to check what's 'normally' taught at KS2 maths...
DD1's school year 5 ('top' set) they do not yet know their times tables (only 2s, 5s and 10s). They have had no homework for a term and are ropey on division e.g. 265/8 and multiplication e.g. 20x24.
Is this normal or quite frankly a bit crap?

definitely doesn't sound right to me - mine are yr2 and yr3 and they know more tables than that (learned at school not home), the older one has been doing long division and multiplication (whatever methods they now use but bigger numbers anyway)

If the child is meeting national expectations then they are capable of harder work than the examples that you give.
Unlike a previous poster my ds who meets expectations can't do long division yet but he can divide fractions and work out calculations like 1.5% of 16.
