TTRS or Timestables Rockstars is an awesome platform we use at kura for learning our timestables.
Ākonga work hard to practice their recall of basic facts as quickly as they can. In turn they achieve a rock status, the highest of which is Rock Hero. This means they are able to answer 60 facts or more in under a minute. We have many students already with this status, some as young as Year 4! These children will be acknowledged in whānau hui on Monday with a rock hero badge. This is truly an awesome achievement!
However, TTRS is not just for those ākonga who thrive on the challenge of speed of recall. It is a fantastic tool to support those learning their tables at all stages. We currently have students from year 4 up using TTRS. A few minutes regularly is a great way to improve recall.
Each child has a login which is the first 3 letters of their first and last name as well as a 3 letter password. They can use this to access TTRS through the website at home.
If they have forgotten their log in details their kaiako also has a record.
