What is the Multiplication Tables Check
The Multiplication Tables Check (MTC) is a key stage 2 assessment to be taken by pupils at the end of year 4 (in June). The purpose of the MTC is to make sure the times tables knowledge is at the expected level. In the 2023/2024 academic year, the multiplication tables check (MTC) is statutory for primary schools.The MTC is an online test where the pupils are asked 25 questions on times tables 2 to 12. For every question pupils 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.
How to prepare
A good way to prepare is start early and build a daily routine practising the times tables. With regular practise on TTRS children will learn all the questions and gain confidence. We suggest practising 10 to 15 minutes a day for optimal results.
