Whole School Times Table Rainbow Resource

A whole school times table rainbow resource which covers all tables from X2 - X12. Includes: weekly times table tests, personalised certificates, class times table tracker, times table rainbow display and lettering. Over 30 documents included!

I implemented this within my school as maths leader to monitor and assess pupils progress in times tables. It is a whole school initiative which runs from Year 2 right the way through to Year 6. Each class has a Times Table Rainbow Display and children’s names are added to it so they can track their own progress. Each week, children take a times table test and once they pass the same test 2 weeks in a row, they move up to the next times table. All tests follow the same format - children answer the tables in order, out of order, missing numbers and corresponding division facts. This needs to be implemented in addition to a taught weekly times table session which is teacher led to see the fastest results.

Once all times tables have been mastered, children move to the Bronze, SIlver and then Gold tests before they reach the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. These tests are aimed at Years 5/6 and are progressively harder - including square and cubed numbers.

My children gained so much enjoyment from this and they loved being able to track their own progress. There are times table certificates for each stage of the rainbow and then we included a prize of a scientific calculator once they had reached the pot of gold! You can be as creative as you like with this.

This is a great resource for maths leaders to implement if you need a consistent approach to the teaching and delivery of times tables. It enables you to keep track of pupil’s progress in each year group as well.
