@bbcnews: TT Rockstars, which allows children to compete with their classmates for virtual coins and rock-star themed characters and outfits, is widely used by schools for maths homework. But concerns have been raised with the government about the amount of time primary school children are spending on the game. #Education #TTRockstars #ScreenTime #Technology #BBCNews
Just wanted to say thank you for all the love in these comments. You’ve brought the TTRS team a lot of happiness and some of them are comedy. To the grown ups reading this, search for Times Tables Rock Stars digital wellbeing for more info on things like leaderboards, curfews, activity limits and closing the shop. These features have been around anywhere from 3 months to 9 years. What’s coming though, are automatic restrictions (curfews, activity limits and hidden leaderboards) so that if schools haven’t had the chance to set them, they’ll be on anyway. Teachers - remember they can be adjusted or switched back on/off if you wish. For anyone wondering, TTRS was created in 2010…waaaay before the MTC. Bless us with a little ❤️if you have a second. #tablesforlife

all they need to do to see how effective it actually is and was is to ask people who’re 15-19 some timetables questions that require you to think and then ask those same questions to someone in year 4/5 cause i’d bet the younger person will be able to answer quicker 🤷🏻

Yeah I sucked at it I got almost every question wrong also that’s so wrong gamification is a great way to learn it genuinely makes kids interested and want to learn kids just zone out and can’t focus when it’s just a teacher talking for an hour it’s boring

My son learnt his times tables so quickly using this. He could answer the questions quicker than I would read it.

‘Harming children’ but their MANDATORY GOVERNMENT TIMES TABLE EXAM IN YEAR 4 IS DIGITAL. IT IS FORMATTED THE SAME AS TTROCKSTARS. This argument would only make sense if they scrapped the exam or brought it back to paper.

let's ban all fun school activities and only keep the horrible AI-based ones that mark your correct answers wrong, never work properly and sell our data to palantir
