OLICO's Times-Tables Challenge
The Times-tables Challenge is designed to help your Grade 4 - 9 class get on top of their times-tables.
Learners work together as a class to develop the fluency that is essential for more complex high school mathematics. Prizes will be awarded for the highest percentage of fluency in a class and individual learners will participate in an inter-school final at UWC and Wits.
