Practise the 16 times table
Three practice questions first, then all twelve facts in a random order. Each one has six seconds and a three-second pause before the next, the same pace as the multiplication tables check in Year 4. Type the answer or tap the keypad.
Six seconds is a tough pace for a table beyond 12. If it feels too fast, work each fact out on paper first, then come back to the check.

Patterns that help
Every answer is even, and each one is double the matching 8 times table answer: 16 × 3 = 48, which is double 24. The last digits go 6, 2, 8, 4, 0 and then repeat.
Facts worth learning by heart: 16 × 7 = 112, 16 × 9 = 144 and 16 × 12 = 192.
If a fact goes missing: Double four times. For 16 × 7: double 7 is 14, and doubling again gives 28, 56 and 112.
The multiplication tables check in Year 4 stops at 12, so the 16 times table is not in it. It is a stretch table: knowing it makes 11+ questions on multiples, fractions and money quicker, but the 2 to 12 tables come first.
