One month ago we undertook a multiplication speed test to see how many questions we could answer correctly in 7 minutes. Rapid multiplication knowledge is the key to being able to tackle many more complex mental calculations as we move forward. Therefore, we set personal targets and aimed to implement practise at home and in small blocks in class to bring about changes in knowledge and confidence. I’m happy to report that the majority of the class answered many more questions within the 7 minutes. In addition, many more children managed to finish the ENTIRE 144 questions within 7 minutes. Some after 4 minutes! Keep up the hard work, boys and girls! If you’re keen to improve your score even further, please let me know and I can give you another sheet in class. 🙂 Have a look at just a small portion of our results below.
