Pupils can enhance their multiplication tables knowledge through accessing TTRS.  We recommend a minimum of 10 minutes everyday for children to complete their heatmaps of fluency and speed.  These are vital to all our mathematical learning across the curriculum.

Pupils with rise up the rankings with their speed and there are in-house competitions set every week to earn house points, class and individual prizes.  The best part is it's fun too!
