(note that Step 2 is knowing 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10 times tables)
- Examples of what pupils should
know and be able to do - Probing questions

this a barrier?
Probing questions
If someone has forgotten the 8 times table, what tips would you give them to help work it out?
What other links between times tables are useful?
If you know that 4 × 7 = 28, what else do you know?
NOTE: The easiest way to establish whether a child knows the multiplication facts is to look for evidence of rapid recall in a range of contexts.
