The 99 Club
The ‘99 Club’ is a times table scheme which aims to raise standards in maths through encouraging pupils to improve their mental calculations when attempting quick-fire multiplication and division problems.
The idea is that with repeated practice, the scheme should result in increased speed and confidence when tackling mental maths problems, without relying on written workings and methods.
In Year 2, 3 and the children will focus on Multiplication facts - this will include missing number facts.
In Year 5 and 6 the children will be looking at Multiplication and Division facts - this will include missing number facts.
All pupils will begin at the 11 Club and then work their way up through the quizzes. The children will then have opportunities during maths fluency time to answer all calculations at their current level unaided and within the allotted time of four/five minutes. If all of the calculations are answered correctly within that time the child moves up to the next level!
The children will be able to bring home their ‘99 Club’ quiz so that you can see how well they progressed in their quiz that day. Whether that is moving onto a new club, answering more questions quickly or getting more answers right. We want to celebrate it all.
We have attached the ‘99 Club’ sheets onto this page alongside the answer sheets so that if you would the opportunity is there to practise at home too alongside our Times Table Rockstar quizzes. You may even like to try and beat your time at home or see if you can go head to head at home and see whose time is quicker!
