Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check (MTC)
The Multiplication Tables Check (MTC) is a statutory assessment for all Year 4 pupils in England. It is designed to ensure children know their multiplication tables fluently and can recall them quickly and accurately.
What is the MTC?
The MTC is completed online in school during June.
- It includes 25 multiplication questions.
- Children have 6 seconds to answer each question.
- The check focuses on times tables up to 12 × 12.
- Pupils complete it individually using a computer or tablet.
The purpose of the check is not to create pressure, but to ensure children have a secure foundation in multiplication, which is essential for later maths learning.
Why are times tables so important?
Secure knowledge of times tables supports many areas of maths, including:
- Division
- Fractions
- Long multiplication and division
- Problem solving
- Mathematical reasoning
When children can recall multiplication facts quickly and accurately, they are able to focus on understanding more complex mathematical concepts.
How can you support at home?
You can make a big difference by encouraging regular practice at home.
- Use Times Tables Rock Stars (TTRS) for daily practice.
- Aim for at least 15 minutes of short, focused practice each day.
- Practise in small bursts rather than long sessions.
- Ask quick-fire questions during everyday routines (for example, in the car or at dinner time).
Regular, consistent practice helps children build speed, accuracy and confidence.
Reassurance for Parents
We prepare children carefully in school and build their confidence throughout the year. The check is completed in a calm and supportive environment, and we focus on celebrating effort and progress.
If you have any questions about the MTC or would like advice on supporting your child at home, please contact the class teacher, Mr Miles or Miss Murray.
