TT Rock Stars

What is Times Table Rock Stars?

Times Tables Rock Stars is a carefully sequenced programme of daily times tables practise.  Each week concentrates on a different times table, with a recommended consolidation week for rehearsing the tables that have recently been practised every third week or so. At Abel Smith School, children in Key Stage 2 have an individual log-in to play TTRock Stars and we ask that children aim to play everyday for approximately 10 minutes (play at least 3 times in the garage)

What are its aims?

The programme has one aim - to boost the recall speed of times table facts.

What are the benefits of Times Table Rock Stars?

• Incorrect answers are always immediately corrected in front of the pupil so that they start to associate the correct answer to every question.

• The clever code behind the scenes works out which times tables facts each pupil is consistently taking longer to answer and then it gradually starts to present these facts more frequently until pupils have mastered them.

• It will also ask related division questions 20% of the time in order to reinforce division facts
