Recall multiplication facts, and corresponding division facts, in the 10, 5, 2, 4 and 8 multiplication tables, and recognise products in these multiplication tables

What this means, in plain words

Times table facts are recalled from memory rather than counted out, which frees a child up to think about the problem itself.

Multiplication is repeated addition of equal groups. Division shares a total into equal groups, or works out how many groups fit.
