Maths
How you can help your child with thier tiimes tables!
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

Information and tests for the 99 club - please practice the tests with your child each week, this will be an enormous support for them in mathematics!
By the end of Year 4 children will be expected to have instant recall of the 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 times tables and their related division facts. You can help your child practise these at home by:
- turning over playing cards and multiplying the cards together (who can answer the quickest?)
- Rolling dice and multiplying the numbers together
- learning them by rote
- practising them whilst walking home from school or in the car etc....
- singing them
