The 4 Times Table Lesson

This Year 3 The 4 Times Table lesson covers the prior learning of multiplying by two, before moving onto the main skill of using known multiplication facts to calculate the four times table.

The lesson starts with a prior learning worksheet to check pupils’ understanding. The interactive lesson slides recap the prior learning before moving on to the main skill. Children can then practise further by completing the activities and can extend their learning by completing an engaging extension task.
