How it works

Times tables practice in four steps

  1. Start a practice check

    Year 4 opens on the check: 25 questions from the 2 to 12 times tables, 6 seconds each, one at a time on the board. Answers are shown together at the end, so pupils keep the pace of the real check.

  2. Or pick a year group and a term

    Year 1 to Year 4, three terms. Set A and Set B practise the facts of the term; the daily warm-up mixes the term with 40% review and stays the same all day.

  3. Project it, or print it

    Flash mode runs full screen, from 3 to 20 seconds a question. The A4 sheet prints with its answers and the National Curriculum statement it practises.

  4. Note how it went

    Type the average score: your plan for the year shows what each term has covered. No pupil names, ever.

FAQ

Times tables check questions

What is the multiplication tables check?

A statutory online check for Year 4 pupils in England, taken in June. Pupils answer 25 multiplication questions from the 2 to 12 times tables, with 6 seconds for each question. There is no pass mark; schools receive their pupils’ scores.

When is the 2027 check?

The check window runs from Monday 7 June to Friday 18 June 2027. Schools choose when their pupils take it during those two weeks.

Is this the same as the real check?

It follows the same format: 25 questions, 6 seconds each, tables 2 to 12, one question at a time. It is not the official check and does not record pupils’ answers. The Standards and Testing Agency publishes its own familiarisation materials on the official check service.

Which tables should each year group know?

The National Curriculum sets the 2, 5 and 10 times tables in Year 2, the 3, 4 and 8 times tables in Year 3, and all tables up to 12 × 12 in Year 4. The sets follow that order, term by term, alongside addition and subtraction facts.

Is it free? Do I need an account?

The check, the sets, flash mode and printable sheets are free with no account. A free account only saves your plan for the year so you find it at school and at home.
