TT Rock Stars - England Rocks Competition

As part of our commitment to make maths exciting and high profile in our school and to celebrate Maths Week, we are taking part in a friendly competition involving schools in England. The competition runs from 07:30 GMT Tuesday 12th November 2024 to 19:30 GMT Thursday 14th November 2024. It's all done online via play.ttrockstars.com. 

Children can play in any gamemode with every correct answer to a multiplication or division question, earning themselves, their class and the school a point. The Times Tables Rock Stars platform will calculate the class average (the number of correct answers per pupil in the class who play during the competition hours, subject to a daily 60-minute limit (see below)). Winning classes in the school and in the competition as a whole will be the ones with the highest average.  Whilst children can play any game as part of the competition, we would recommend they focus on the games which are suggested as part of their regular homework – as these are the most beneficial game for each child. 

To support player wellbeing, there is a daily time limit of 60-minutes per player. In other words, each player can earn competition points for up to 60-minutes between 07:30 GMT and 19:30 GMT on 07:30 GMT Tuesday 12th November 2024 to 19:30 GMT Thursday 14th November 2024. Once the player goes beyond 60-minutes of play on that day, they will still earn coins but will no longer earn points towards the competition. 

In the spirit of the competition, please don't play on their behalf but by all means encourage and support them to the extent that it doesn't cause high stress levels or impact on family plans. 

We will be recognising the top scoring children in each class with a certificate.

TT Rock Stars is a fun way for children to learn and become more confident with multiplication and division facts.  If you have any doubt about which of the games on TT would be best for your child to use during the competition, please check the weekly year group homework first.  If you are still unsure, we would recommend the following, but please do speak with your child's teacher if you want any further clarification: 

Year 3 - Garage or Jamming 

Year 4 - Garage, Jamming or Studio 

Years 5 and 6 - Garage, Studio, Festival, Arena or Rock Slam. 

To help make sure children’s progress is tracked accurately, please ensure children are using the latest version of the Times Tables Rock Stars.  In order to do this please visit play.ttrockstars.com/reset to load the latest version in their device's browser or check in the app store for the device that the app they are using is the latest version. 

Thank you for your support.  Good luck everyone!
