Times Tables Rewards
KS1
When a child achieved their number bonds to 10, 20 or their 2, 5 or 10 times tables they will receive a certificate in praise assembly.

When a child achieves a single times table from 2 to 12 they receive a sticker. Once a child has achieved all their single times tables up to 12 x 12 they receive a certificate.
