These pages will let you know what Times Tables Rock Stars is all about, and how to use the programme in your school. For instructions on how to get your school set up, please visit our Getting Started Guide.
Both formats use the Baseline-Practise-Check model to follow pupils' progress and provide pupils with a Rock Speed and corresponding Status, which they will aim to improve.
Every classroom in every school uses Times Tables Rock Stars slightly differently to the next. The two formats can be used individually, or together, in many different ways, so it is open to you to use TTRS in the way which works best for you and your students:
Mostly Worksheet Focused
The Worksheets make a great starter to maths lessons; use them with your class daily, submitting your pupil's results online at the end of the week, to follow their Rock Speeds and Statuses. Why not also let your pupils know their log in details, so that they can play for fun, online or on the app, in their own time?
Mostly Web & App Game Focused
If you have regular access to the internet for all your students, they can complete their daily practice using our online games, via our website or app, instead of using the Worksheets. In addition to improving their Rock Speed and climbing the Rockstar ranks, the online games reward children with virtual coins for each correct answer, which they enjoy spending on upgrading their personal rock avatar.
If you'd rather your pupils complete their daily times tables practise at home, ensure they're practising regularly by using our Sessions feature to set recurring online homework assignments. Still want to test in school? There's no reason why you can't use the Worksheet's Baseline tests in class occasionally, to see how your pupils are getting on.
