Familiarity and proficiency with the basic times tables are an essential building block in maths. It opens the door to many other mathematical concepts and increases confidence in the subject.

Daily practice on TTRockstars will ensure pupil’s master their times tables as early as possible and that they are embedded into long term memory. Teachers monitor who is logging on at home and there is a requirement for daily practice of 10 minutes a night.
