Porpoise Class Homework

Mathematics

In Porpoises, our aim is for the children to be able to automatically recall the 66 multiplication facts. 

 

To help with this, we ask the children to complete 20 minutes of Times Table Rockstars each week, in Garage Mode. Occasionally a Gig will be set to help the teacher measure progress over time. Knowing multiplication facts fluently lifts a whole layer of thinking from the children, allowing them to focus on mathematical thinking, reasoning and problem solving.

 

Please see the guides below for more information about TTRS.

 

The 66 facts are on the document below.
