Practical guides for parents and primary teachers in the UK, on helping children get quicker and more confident with number facts.

Each guide is checked against official sources such as the national curriculum and the Standards and Testing Agency's guidance on the Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check, and links to them so you can read the originals. New to this? Start with how to learn times tables fast (order, strategies, term plan). If your child is in Year 4, read the MTC guide (format, access arrangements, June countdown).
