Wicked Wednesday: Magical Multiplication

As part of our Maths Challenge Week, we have a day overflowing with Magical Multiplication.

And, when you talk about multiplication, there really is no better place to go than EducationCity’s sing-along Times Table Songs, which are ideal for Key Stage 1 and Lower Key Stage 2 students as their catchy tunes make the times tables so easy to remember.

We know you love them and you enjoy seeing everyone in action too, so there are goodies up for grabs for any school that sends in a video of them singing along! Simply post them to our Twitter account (@EducationCity) and we’ll get those goodies sent out to you.

Key Stage-specific content can be found below- we think you'll find some great lesson plan inspirations!
