It is really important that all children devote homework time to learning the times table facts for all the timetables up to and including the twelve times table. They need to be fluent and have very quick recall of these facts. Timetable Rock stars is great for this as the children can access independently and there are other websites which I will share via Seesaw. ESSENTIAL TASK
