Times-tables - and time!
We focus on learning our times-tables during the Autumn term, to prepare us for the challenge of Multiplication (which comes up before Christmas), Division and Fractions (which we explore next term).
A secure knowledge of times-tables combined with speedy recall is a REALLY important skill.
In Year 4, we practise two different methods for multiplication - we start with the familiar 'Grid Method', and then learn how to condense this into the 'Standard Method' for short multiplication.
We also need to be able to tell the time - using both the 12-hour and 24-hour clock, and coping with digital and analogue clocks.
Here are some great links to time-telling activities:
BANG ON TIME!
Stop the clock!
