Times Tables

As we are working on division this week, we all need to make sure our multiplication and division facts are perfect!
As well as practising the games on the post below, some of you will need to do some extra practise:

Multiplication 3 x 1= 3 3 x 2=6 3 x 3=9 3 x 4=12 3 x 5= 15 3 x 6= 18 3 x 7 = 21 3 x 8 = 24 3 x 9 = 27 3 x 10 = 30 3 x 11 = 33 3 x 12 =36

Division facts 36 ÷ 3 = 12 33 ÷ 3 = 11 30 ÷ 3 =10 27 ÷ 3 = 9 24 ÷ 3 = 8 21 ÷ 3 = 7 18 ÷ 3 = 6 15 ÷ 3 = 5 12 ÷ 3 = 4 9 ÷ 3 = 3 6 ÷ 3 = 2 3 ÷ 3 = 1

1.     Look, cover and test yourself by repeating them out loud. 2.    Write out the multiplication and division facts without looking. Score yourself. 3.       Write down any patterns you notice.
