Tackling Tables has been very much a part of my girls' daily routine since they started mid-way through Year 2. They both love the challenge of beating their best and very quickly achieved their red badges through regular practice. The introduction of Tackling Tables online was fabulous as it gave them both the opportunity to take responsibility for their own learning. The Intelligent Practice stages have really supported their mathematical development and they are able to quickly make links from other areas. Tackling Tables has supported them in becoming fluent with their times tables and also increased their confidence in their mathematical ability overall. Priya got her 100% for percentages yesterday! She is so delighted and so am I!

Personally, I have found that using Tackling Tables has helped parents and staff to focus on the importance of learning times tables within maths. The extension challenges really reflect the fluency element of the new maths curriculum. Parents like Tackling Tables because it is something they are able to do at home to support their child. The children enjoy challenging themselves and we celebrate every increase in score, whether it is one more or a 100! I always emphasise that if you can do the multiplication challenge then you can do the division because to divide quickly you need to know your tables.
