Multiplication Tables Check

​

“Every pupil will be expected to know their times tables up to 12 x 12 by the time they reach the end of primary school, Education Secretary Nicky Morgan has announced today (3 January 2016).

 

Under the new measure, all children will have their multiplication skills checked at the age of 11 as part of the government’s commitment to giving every child an excellent education.”

From June 2020 the MTC (Multiplication Tables Check) will become statutory in the UK.

 

The MTC is a key stage 2 (KS2) assessment to be taken by pupils at the end of year 4. The MTC is

focused on the fluent recall of multiplication facts. This is included in the national curriculum (2014)

statutory programme of study for mathematics at key stage 1 (KS1) and KS2.

 

The MTC will be delivered as an online, on-screen digital assessment. Under standard administration,

the check will take each pupil less than 5 minutes to complete. It will be automatically scored, and

results will be available to schools once the assessment window closes.
