Multiplication Practice Generator | Multiplication Tables Check | Year 3 & Year 4 | Excel

Create personalised MTC-style practice worksheets in seconds with this easy-to-use Excel generator. It can be used with Year 3 and Year 4 pupils, or with any pupils who would benefit from regular times tables practice.

The MTC Practice Generator is a reusable Excel resource designed to help teachers create quick, varied multiplication practice for pupils preparing for the Multiplication Tables Check (MTC).

Rather than providing a fixed set of worksheets, this resource allows you to generate new practice worksheets whenever you need them, choosing the times tables, number of questions and question types to suit your class.

What can you use it for?

This resource is ideal for:

• Morning maths / morning work
• MTC preparation
• Times tables retrieval practice
• Arithmetic starters
• Quick daily multiplication practice
• Intervention and targeted support
• Early finishers
• Homework
• Independent practice
• Revision before the MTC
• Regular times tables retrieval throughout the year

You can customise:
Times tables
Choose which tables you want pupils to practise, from 2× to 12×, or create mixed-table practice.
This means you could create:

• A focused 6× table practice sheet
• 2×, 5× and 10× retrieval
• 3×, 4× and 8× practice
• Mixed 2–12× practice
• Targeted practice for tables your class is finding difficult
• Number of questions
• Choose how many questions you want on each practice sheet.
• Question types

The generator includes a range of question formats, including:
Multiplication
Reverse multiplication
Division
Missing number
Missing multiplier
Missing divisor

Choose the difficulty level to suit your pupils and the type of practice you want to provide.

Practice history
The generator can use previous practice history to help avoid recently used questions and prioritise questions that pupils have not encountered recently.
This is particularly useful if you use the resource regularly throughout the year and want to keep practice fresh.

Flexible printing
Once your worksheet has been generated, you can choose how many pupil worksheets you want printed on each A4 page:
1, 2, 4, 6 or 8 worksheets per page.

This makes it easy to create anything from a larger individual worksheet to a compact morning-work slip that can be stuck straight into pupils’ maths or arithmetic books.

An answer sheet is also generated to make marking quick and straightforward.

Please note:
This is an Excel-based digital resource, not a PDF or collection of pre-made worksheets.
You will need Microsoft Excel and macros must be enabled for the generator and buttons to work.
Once set up, the workbook can be reused to create new MTC practice worksheets whenever required.

Licence
This resource is for the purchaser’s own classroom use.
You may print generated worksheets for pupils you teach. You may not resell, redistribute, share, upload, copy or claim the workbook, question bank, code or design as your own.
