Take a mastery approach to teaching the times tables with these 9 worksheets. Beginning with the two times table, the activities and questions carefully build children’s understanding of and confidence with the times tables.

Starting with pictorial examples, the problems move on to the abstract. There are layers of challenge to support children as their knowledge of the times tables grows.

Pupils will problem solve using the times tables, learn to spot mathematical patterns and work with basic algebra.

The process also supports children’s understanding of the relationship between the different times tables (eg 2 and 4 times tables and 3 and 6 times tables).
