The 99 Club aims to raise standards in maths through encouraging pupils to improve their mental calculations when attempting quick-fire multiplication and division problems.
The idea is that with repeated practice, the scheme should result in increased speed and confidence when tackling mental maths problems without relying on written workings and methods.
Pupils will begin at the 11 Club and work their way up, having at least 1 opportunity per week to answer all calculations at their current level unaided and within the allotted time of five minutes.
If all of the calculations are answered correctly twice in a row, the child moves up to the next level! The levels are as follows
