TT Rock-Stars
TT Rockstars is a programme used at Hill Top in order to raise the profile of times tables across the academy in an exciting way.
In either paper form or online, Times Tables Rock Stars is a carefully sequenced programme of daily times tables practice.
Each week concentrates on a different times table, with a recommended consolidation week for rehearsing the tables that have recently been practised every third week or so.
This format has very successfully boosted times tables recall speed for hundreds of thousands of pupils over the last 8 years in over 14,000 schools - both primary and secondary - worldwide.
To further promote TT Rockstars throughout the year we will run many challenges such as Teachers vs students, class vs class and whole school challenges.
Each child at Hill Top has been given a user and login in details so that they can continue to practise their times tables at home.

The class teacher then gets your feedback and photos so they can see how your child is getting on.
