Maths is a big subject and we appreciate 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 rich, interesting maths is all about 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. From Year 2, all children regularly practise times tables in school and should also practise daily at home via ‘Times Tables Rockstars’, an online platform for fun, engaging times table games.

What is Times Tables Rockstars?

Times Tables Rock Stars is a carefully sequenced programme of daily times tables practice.  It is designed with teachers, students and parents in mind. The programme provides a fun and engaging environment with an element of individual competition. It is advised that children practise their times tables for at least 10 minutes each day. Times Tables Rockstars is an online tool that supports the learning of times tables, encouraging children to increase their accuracy and speed to achieve various rock levels. Who will achieve ‘Rock Hero’ status by answering questions in under 1 second?!
