About KS2 Times Tables
These KS2 Times Tables quizzes help children in Years 3-6 (ages 7-11) practise multiplication facts from 2 to 12, plus a mixed test. Each quiz is short, focused and designed by experienced teachers to support confident number fluency at home and in school.
Parents often ask what “good practice” looks like. For times tables, it is quick, regular recall with feedback, so children learn patterns, spot mistakes and build speed without feeling overwhelmed.
What Children Learn and Why It Matters
Secure times tables make lots of KS2 maths easier, including written methods, fractions, percentages, ratio-style comparisons and problem solving. Fast recall also supports SATs arithmetic confidence by reducing working-out time and avoiding common slips.
How to Use These Quizzes at Home
Aim for little and often. Choose a single table to build confidence, then use the mixed quiz to check flexible recall. If a question is tricky, encourage children to use a known fact to work it out, for example using 10× and adjusting, or doubling and halving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which times tables should KS2 children know?
Children are expected to learn multiplication and division facts for tables up to 12×12 during KS2. Regular practice across Years 3-6 helps make recall faster and more reliable.
Do these quizzes help with the Multiplication Tables Check?
Yes. The Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check focuses on rapid recall for tables 2-12, and these quizzes give repeated practice across each table plus a mixed set for variety.
How long should a practice session take?
Short sessions work best. A single 10-question quiz can be done in a few minutes, which is ideal for building a routine without tiring children out.
What if my child keeps forgetting the same facts?
That is normal. Focus on one table for a few days, then revisit it after a short break. Encourage pattern spotting and linking facts, and use the quizzes to track improvement over time.
