This year to support our pupils with times tables, we have introduced the 99 Club from Year 1 to Year 6. The 99 Club is a progressive programme that aims to encourage pupils to improve their mental calculations, particularly with the recall of multiplication and division facts. The idea is that with repeated practice, the pupils should increase in speed and confidence when tackling mental maths problems. 

The 99 Club begins at the 11 Club and progresses up to the 99 Club. Once the children have reached the 99 Club there is an 'Elite Club' of Bronze, Silver and Gold. The Initial 11 Club involves eleven problems which involve  doubling numbers up to ten, e.g. 5+5, 8+8. The 22 Club then adds eleven further questions involving repeated addition for numbers from one to ten, e.g. 3+3+3+3. It is at the 33 Club where the times tables are introduced. By the time the children reach the 77 Club the division facts are added. The ultimate challenge is to complete all 99 questions from the 99 Club unaided, with no errors and within 5 minutes. 

Each week, your child will be tested on their current level and within the allotted time of 5 minutes. If all calculations are answered correctly two weeks in a row, they will move up to the next challenge.
