At Intelligent Tuition, we can help your child get ready for the MTC in June, year 4. We can tailor work to be more focused on mental maths and quick recall. Our tutors are trained to help children develop their speed and accuracy in mental maths.

Understanding the Multiplication Table Check - Year 4

The Multiplication Table Check (MTC) is an assessment carried out in Year 4 for students in the United Kingdom. It is designed to assess a student's fluency in recalling multiplication facts and is part of the government's initiative to strengthen mathematical skills at an early age.

Multiplication Facts Assessed:

The MTC specifically assesses a student's ability to recall multiplication facts for the times tables up to 12. This includes:

Times Tables: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12.

Students are tested on their speed and accuracy in answering multiplication questions for these tables.

How the MTC Works:

The MTC is conducted as a short online test. Students are presented with a series of multiplication questions and are required to input the correct answers within a time limit. The assessment is typically carried out in a low-pressure environment to encourage students to demonstrate their multiplication fluency.

The interface allows students to click or type their answers, providing a user-friendly experience for young learners.

Results and Feedback:

After completing the Multiplication Table Check, students, parents, and teachers receive feedback on the student's performance. The results indicate the level of fluency in recalling multiplication facts, helping identify areas for improvement and providing valuable insights for future teaching strategies.

It's important for Year 4 students to practice and become familiar with the times tables up to 12 in preparation for the Multiplication Table Check.

The MTC aims to enhance mathematical skills and lay a strong foundation for more complex mathematical concepts in later years.
