Welcome to :
At the Prince of Wales School we recognise the importance of children being fluent and flexible with their known number facts including times tables. Times Tables Rockstars offers a fun and motivating way of becoming faster at recalling times table facts as multiplication and division calculations. All children in years 2, 3 and 4 have access to this resource. Year 2, Mr MacBean and Mrs Bishop will be sharing your login details soon!
If you are not already familiar with this learning platform, here's some information to get you going:
Tables will be set either by the class teacher or by AI, and you can access the set tables by playing on either the Garage or in the Arena. Other games will include a wider range of times table facts if you fancy a challenge.
Each week years 3 and 4 will be competing in a battle of the bands. This works on the number of correct answers given by the whole class in the timeframe. Well done year 4 for winning the first battle, year 3 are hot on your heels this week! Year 2, once you've had a little practice you can join in too!
And finally, if you want to get even speedier at home it might be worth investing in a number key pad that you can plug into your computer via USB. We use these in school and the children love to see how fast they can get!
For those Mathletes out there, we are still subscribing to Mathletics as well for years 1 to 4, so keep earning those certificates too!
