Maths Intent

At Jubilee, we aim to build children’s resilience to become confident in their own mathematical skills and knowledge. By building on their skills, children can recognise that maths is all around them and learn how to apply this knowledge in their everyday lives.

Master of Tables

 

In our drive to develop a love for Maths and to improve our Maths skills even further at Jubilee, we introduced Master of Tables (MoT) to encourage children to learn their times tables off by heart.  This has helped them in mental maths and in arithmetic work, whether in class or in assessment situations.

                                                                                   

There are four stages: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum.

To become a Bronze Master of Tables, children have to know their 2, 5 and 10 x tables.

To become a Silver Master of Tables, children have to know their 3, 4, 6 and 7 x tables.

To become a Gold Master of Tables, children have to know their 8, 9, 11 and 12 x tables.

To become a Platinum Master of Tables, children have to apply all of these skills in different contexts.

 

Children have to know the times table facts and all inverses in random order and are expected to answer “quick fire” to encourage instant recall of multiplication and division facts. If successful, they are presented with a certificate for the level they have achieved and their photo is then put on the MoT display in our school hall to celebrate their success.
