Year 2 Times Tables

By the end of Year 2, children are expected to be secure in their 2, 5 and 10 times tables. All of the children have a personal login to the Numbots website, which is a great way to support them in their maths learning. You can find the logins on the inside cover of your child’s Reading Record. Hit the Button is also a great way to practise times tables, number bonds and key number facts. You can find links to both of these websites below.
