Instruction
The hard squares of the table
Whole class: shade the 6, 7, 8 corner of the times-table grid and show the patterns that make those facts easier to hold.
Targets exactly the facts the class is slow on, not the ones already secure.
1:1 Talk-buddy
Quick-fire pairs
Pairs test each other on a small deck of 7 and 8 facts, keeping a tally of fast ones.
Pairs balanced so no child faces a much faster partner.
Self-work
Fact sheets and first two-step problems
Support sheet drills the slow facts; core and stretch move into word problems. Pull Nivaan's group for skip-counting.
Support sheet stays on 7s and 8s; harder sheet uses facts inside problems.
Activity
Times-table bingo
Call out facts; children mark answers on a grid. First full line calls it.
Reuses the printed bingo grids from last month.
