What is it?
Next term, Year 3 will be taking part in our annual Times Tableathon, a sponsored times table speed test. The purpose of this event is both to raise money for our chairty, Thomas House, and to encourage the children to learn their times tables by heart. Quick recall of times tables, as opposed to using a method or strategy to work out the answer, helps free up space in children's working memory so that they can focus on applying their knowledge to other areas of the curriculum, for example, when learning about fractions, area and perimeter as well as other concepts that they will learn higher up in the school.
