Fact maps

Division fact map

Find out which division facts your child knows by heart, like 56 ÷ 7. They answer each one once on screen, and you get a colour-coded map of what they know, what takes them longer and what to learn next.

What the map shows

The 2 to 12 times tables hold 66 different facts. Here your child is asked each one once as a division, in a mixed order: 56 ÷ 7 or 56 ÷ 8, which count as one. Its squares are coloured by how it went:

  • Quick Right, in under 6 seconds.
  • Right, but slower Right, but it took 6 seconds or more.
  • Not yet Wrong, or skipped.

Why 6 seconds? Year 4 children at state schools in England take the multiplication tables check in June, and it gives 6 seconds a question. Here the clock never cuts them off, so a slow answer still counts as right.

Grey squares are facts not asked yet, from a part you have not done.

A map shows one go on one day. A slip or a slow answer is normal, so look at the overall pattern rather than any single square.

How to use it

  • Do all 66 in one sitting (three short rounds, with a break after each), or one part at a time, in the order English schools teach them: dividing by 2, 5 and 10 (Year 2), by 3, 4 and 8 (Year 3), then the rest (Year 4).
  • Prefer paper? "Print a blank map" gives a times tables grid to fill in. It works for division too: 56 ÷ 7 = 8 because 56 sits in the 7 row, under the 8. The answers come on a second sheet for you.
  • The same facts the other way round are on the times tables fact map. Children are expected to know both by the end of Year 4.
  • When the map is done, "Practise the not-yet ones" asks those facts again and shows the answer to any they get wrong. Their squares change colour as they get them right.
  • Print the finished map. It doubles as a times tables grid: 56 sits in the 7 row and the 8 column, so 56 ÷ 7 = 8.
  • Make a new map in a few weeks and compare the two.

Nothing is sent anywhere

The answers stay in this browser tab and are never sent to us. Close the tab and the map is gone, unless you save or print it.

"Save this map" makes a link with the map written into it, to email or message to yourself. We never see it.

Your device also remembers the display settings under "Accessibility" (colours, text size and the number pad), so you are not asked again.
