Description
The Centurion Challenge
This resource is a purposely designed challenge to improve the multiplication and timestable knowledge of children. The Centurion Challenge consists of 5 different Levels, which become progressively more challenging.
Each level is 100 questions involved the Timestables, progressing into more challenging questions including missing number equations, division and decimal work.
Levels:
Level 1 – multiplication up to 10 x 10 inc missing number questions.
Level 2 – mixed multiplication and division questions up to 10 x 10
Level 3 – mixed multiplication and division questions up to 12 x 12
Level 4 – application of times table and ivision facts to 12 x 12 with multiples of 0.1, 10 and 100
Ultimate Challenge
Organisation:
10 minutes to answer as many questions as you can
Mark a partner’s work and record the total
Feedback results – Teacher to keep a weekly track and celebration should focus on progress (Answers for each level are also available on the Excel Spreadsheet!
Children to record weekly results on own graphs / graphs updated by teachers
95% three times in a row = promotion to next stage
100% at Level 3 = Times Table Champion Badge
All children start at Level 1
Questions for each level can be changed by pushing the F9 button, so you have an easy method of switching the questions on each level!
Centurion Champions
As an extra incentive, predominantly used in Year 5 and 6. Children complete their level of Centurion whilst a 10 minute timer is visible to the class. Once children complete their centurion level, they can record the time taken on the stopwatch. With this you can create a Centurion Champion Leaderboard!
A Centurion Championship Display Document is also available as a free product! Ready to display for your classes!
Impact
The Centurion Challenge has proven to be an engaging and effective method at improving children’s timetable, multiplication and division knowledge, whilst also improving calculation speeds (an important factor for EoKS Assessment!)
Differentiation
Also included in this document, is Target 50, Target 75 and Target 100. Which are similar activities to Centurion, but these only include Addition and Subtraction questions (missing number sentences too). Therefore, children who can not access Level 1 of Centurion just yet have an activity which can support them in reaching the Centurion Challenge.
