Leo thought he was stupid. 😢

How the Year 4 Times Tables Test Affects Your Child’s Future

By age 9, Leo had already given up.
Maths lessons made him freeze. He couldn’t keep up.
Soon, it wasn’t just maths—his confidence crumbled across all subjects. Reading. Science. Everything.

What no one told his mum was this:
Struggling with times tables isn’t “just a maths thing.”
It affects how a child feels, learns, and shows up in school—and in life.

That’s why the UK government introduced the Multiplication Tables Check (MTC) for all Year 4 children in England.
It’s a short test—25 questions on times tables up to 12×12, taken in the summer term.
But the consequences of not being ready are anything but small.

Because years of research shows:
If a child hasn’t mastered times tables by age 10, they’re more likely to struggle throughout school, earn less later in life, and even face higher risks of anxiety and poor mental health.

The MTC isn’t about pressure.
It’s about catching kids before they fall through the cracks.
