Have to say that my tables are still a knee jerk instant reaction far too many years later.
DS's are the same - I was drilled as a child, they had some new fangled method but the result is the same.

Mind you we went to an open evening and there was some "old" maths equipment on the side - DS was absolutely fascinated by a log book and very impressed that I could still use one (so was I for that matter ).

Our Y5 teacher sets a 2min target for a 10x10 grid out of order.
Each year between 5-10 kids will hit that target with another 5 or so just out of it on the 3min margin.
