Times tables (age 8+)
Recognise and use repeated reasoning to generalise: extend patterns in times tables and equivalent fractions, derive unknown facts from known facts efficiently, describe general rules
Typical age: 8–9 years
“When your child notices a pattern — like that multiplying by 4 is the same as doubling twice — do they use that generalisation to solve similar problems more efficiently?”

- Extending Table PatternsREQUIRED
Age 7-8 repeated reasoning is prerequisite to age 8-9 level
- Equivalent fractions on a number line
Equivalent fraction patterns exercise repeated reasoning
- Understanding angles (age 8+)
Area calculation patterns (doubling side doubles area) exercise generalisation
- Describing Rules & Patterns
Generalising fraction and times-table patterns is the maths-specific application of the universal generalisation habit
