Times Tables Rock Stars - TTRS

Here at Bishop Lonsdale, we love maths. It’s a fantastic subject to learn and to teach which is why we introduced TT Rockstars to help children improve their times tables both at home and in school. Maths is a big subject and we appreciate that there’s more to it than times tables and there’s more to times tables than learning them off by heart. However, a lot of the rich, interesting maths is all about the multiplicative relationships and these are hard to fully grasp without fluent recall of the tables. For that reason, learning the tables is fundamental – they are a key facilitator to the maths that sits on top. We’ve always believed that.

When it comes to times tables, speed AND accuracy are important – the more facts your child remembers, the easier it is for them to do harder calculations. Times Table Rock Stars is a fun and challenging programme designed to help students master the times tables and help them reach the goal of being able to answer any times table (up to 12 x 12) in under 3 seconds.

TT Rockstars is also linked to our updated times tables system; teachers are able to target the children’s home learning to the stage that they are at in their weekly class assessments.

It is part of the school homework policy that children in Years 2-6 are practising their times tables weekly; this is a fun and easy way for the children to complete this and the top coin earner and the most improved Rockstar will soon be praised in assemblies.

The children can access TT Rockstars easily online; we have included a guide below on how to access this.  We appreciate your support with helping your child improve their times tables. Please feel free to contact your child’s teacher if…
