Using a times table grid in Year 3 or Year 4įor Years 3 and 4, when introducing the potentially confusing subject of lowest common multiples and highest common factors, times tables grids are a simple pictorial representation of what is meant by a multiple or factor.įor example, looking at the 7 times table will highlight what numbers are factors of 7. This is highlighted in our lessons ‘2, 5 and 10 times tables and division facts’ and ‘3, 4 and 8 times tables and division facts’. It can be an excellent tool to introduce pupils in Year 2 and 3 to multiplication and division facts, showing them the relationship between these two operations.įor example that 2 x 3 = 6 and that 6 ÷ 2 = 3. Using a times table grid in Year 2 or Year 3 Whether you use a pre completed times table grid or a blank one will depend on your needs in class but they are versatile enough to use across all age groups. In the resource pack attached we give some structured interactive ways to use your times table grids to practise pupils’ multiplication skills.
