The 144 Club is an initiative launched by the school at the start of the Spring term 2023. It was introduced to help boost the presence of Maths in the school and to help boys with their times tables development and knowledge. We have really seen how well this has worked and helped our boys!
“Knowing the times tables fluently helps children to develop their learning in maths because they can take that knowledge for granted, which frees up cognitive space for them to learn new mathematical ideas and apply maths to solve problems.”
(Jo Boaler, Professor of Mathematics).
At Pardes House, we give all boys from Years 2 – 6 the opportunity to become a member of the 144 Club, through different levels. However, only those with full mastery of all their tables can be declared as 144 Club Masters! Some boys are so good at their tables that they are now sitting the ‘Ultra Master’ assessment!
Even the parents can see the benefit…
Good afternoon Mr Sager,
I just wanted to let you know how pleased ***** was, when he came out of school yesterday waving his Silver level certificate from The 144 Club. He is working up from the bronze level, didn’t make silver last time but has improved and got it now and is so happy about it! He is clearly seeing progress and it has been a great confidence boost for him.
A big thank you for this and all the other fun initiatives you have going on in school – we are certainly seeing great benefit.

Take a look at the images below to see how The 144 Club works and to see how well our boys (and staff!) cope with the time pressure..
