The children will be given homework each Friday to be returned the following Wednesday. The homework will consolidate the learning taking place in class so the children should be able to complete the task independently.
Children are also expected to read regularly at home for at least 15 minutes each day.
We also ask that the children spend time regularly practising their times tables. It is statutory that all Year 4 pupils complete a multiplication tables check (MTC) in June.
The purpose of the MTC is to determine whether pupils can recall their times tables fluently, which is essential for future success in mathematics. It will also help schools to identify pupils who have not yet mastered their times tables, so that additional support can be provided.
The following resource mirrors the ‘Multiplication Times Tables’ check to be given to the children at the end of Year 4.
