Practise the 5 times table
Three practice questions first, then all twelve facts in a random order. Each one has six seconds and a three-second pause before the next, the same pace as the multiplication tables check in Year 4. Type the answer or tap the keypad.

Patterns that help
Every answer ends in 5 or 0. An odd number times 5 ends in 5; an even number times 5 ends in 0.
The facts that trip children up: 5 × 7 = 35, 5 × 9 = 45 and 5 × 12 = 60.
If a fact goes missing: Work out 10 times the number, then halve it. 5 × 9: 10 × 9 is 90, half of 90 is 45.

Times tables are the base of 11+ maths
Quick recall of every fact from 2 to 12 is what 11+ arithmetic, fractions and ratio build on. The free diagnostic checks maths, English and both kinds of reasoning, and shows what to practise next. No card is required.
