Fascinating Fact:

The 12 times table links to time, since there are 12 hours on a clock and 24 hours in a day.

In KS2 Maths, Year 4 multiplication and division helps pupils master times tables up to 12 × 12 and divide bigger numbers. These skills support fractions, measures, and problem solving.

  • Times Table: A list of multiplication facts for a number.
  • Quotient: The result when one number is divided by another.
  • Factor: A number that divides exactly into another number.
What times tables should Year 4 know?

By the end of Year 4, pupils are expected to know all multiplication tables up to 12 × 12 to support more advanced maths topics.

How do you teach division in Year 4?

Division is taught as sharing and grouping. Pupils use times tables knowledge to divide larger numbers and solve real-life word problems.

Why is the 12 times table important?

The 12 times table is important because it links to time (12 hours, 24 hours) and helps with fractions, measures, and everyday calculations.
