Having an understanding of multiplication tables is important for many reasons:
- As students progress to higher levels of maths, they will be required to recall basic maths facts to solve problems more efficiently
- Learning basic multiplication facts develops number sense.
- Fact fluency adds to a student’s confidence level.
- Helps students when learning new, more complex topics each year.
Thanks
