Every fact from 20 × 1 to 20 × 12, a timed practice check, and the patterns that make the 20s easier to remember.

Practise the 20 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 ends in 0, and each one is double the matching 10 times table answer. The digits before the 0 make an even number: 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120.
Facts worth learning by heart: 20 × 11 = 220 and 20 × 12 = 240.
If a fact goes missing: Double the number, then multiply by 10. 20 × 8: double 8 is 16, and 16 × 10 = 160.
The multiplication tables check in Year 4 stops at 12, so the 20 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.
