Important update from TheSchoolRun

For the past 13 years, TheSchoolRun has been run by a small team of mums working from home, dedicated to providing quality educational resources to primary school parents. Unfortunately, rising supplier costs and falling revenue have made it impossible for us to continue operating, and we’ve had to make the difficult decision to close. The good news: We’ve arranged for another educational provider to take over many of our resources. These will be hosted on a new portal, where the content will be updated and expanded to support your child’s learning.

What this means for subscribers:

  • Your subscription is still active, and for now, you can keep using the website as normal — just log in with your usual details to access all our articles and resources*.
  • In a few months, all resources will move to the new portal. You’ll continue to have access there until your subscription ends. We’ll send you full details nearer the time.
  • As a thank you for your support, we’ll also be sending you 16 primary school eBooks (worth £108.84) to download and keep.

A few changes to be aware of:

  • The Learning Journey weekly email has ended, but your child’s plan will still be updated on your dashboard each Monday. Just log in to see the recommended worksheets.
  • The 11+ weekly emails have now ended. We sent you all the remaining emails in the series at the end of March — please check your inbox (and spam folder) if you haven’t seen them. You can also follow the full programme here: 11+ Learning Journey.

If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected]. Thank you for being part of our journey it’s been a privilege to support your family’s learning.

*If you need to reset your password, it will still work as usual. Please check your spam folder if the reset email doesn’t appear in your inbox.

Mixed times tables challenge

Mixed times table worksheet KS2
Use this mixed times tables KS2 worksheet to help your child practise their times tables. Encourage them to find the missing numbers in these times tables questions.
Keystage:  KS2, Year 4

Why is it important for your child to know their times tables?

Knowing times tables is essential for children's maths success. It forms the basis for basic arithmetic, helping them quickly and accurately solve multiplication and division problems. 

This foundational skill builds confidence, boosts mathematical fluency, and prepares them for more advanced concepts in school. Additionally, it has practical applications in daily life, aiding in activities like shopping, cooking, and problem-solving. By mastering times tables, children not only enhance their problem-solving abilities but also develop a positive attitude towards maths, reducing the likelihood of maths anxiety

How is this mixed times tables worksheet helpful?

Mixed times tables, which involve practising multiplication facts in a random or mixed order rather than sequentially, offer several benefits for children's mathematical development. It helps with your child's ability to recall their times tables as it challenges their memory and ensures they can retrieve the information regardless of what order it is in. In the real world, maths problems rarely present themselves in sequential order, so this worksheet will help prepare your child for solving times tables problems outside of the classroom. 

You will find two pages of questions, each with a missing number that your child needs to figure out, and two pages of answers. 

TheSchoolRun.com has plenty of resources to help build upon, and consolidate, your child's times tables knowledge
