Times Tables Rock Stars can be played on an internet browser or via the app and is compatible with all devices. Paper worksheets are also available if tech is not available. It takes one member of staff 2 - 3 minutes to upload a spreadsheet of all school pupils to our database which creates a unique username and password for every pupil in the school. Teachers can either ask the system to automatically generate usernames and secure random passwords, or they can specify usernames and passwords to match existing credentials for other websites. Once pupils have their own login details (printable on sticky labels or in parent letters), they can access TTRS on all devices immediately. Their account goes wherever they go, so if they login at school on a desktop, they'll continue where they left off at home on a tablet.
For Live Lessons access to YouTube and decent internet connectivity is required.
No training is needed as TT Rock Stars is very intuitive for both pupils and teachers, but PDF Getting Started Guides are available alongside pre-recorded training webinars for staff.
