Year 4 multiplication check
The Year 4 statutory multiplication check was introduced nationally in 2021-2022. Though there is no national threshold or expected level, it is clear that the retention and recall of times tables is of great benefit to our students in their ongoing mathematical journeys.
2023 data:
- 24+/25 = 81% (59% achieved 25/25, nationally 29% achieved 25/25)
- 23+/25 = 89%
- 22+/25 =Â 90%
The mean score for 2023 at Simon Balle was 24/25, nationally in 2023 it was 20.2/25.
