Its unnecessary. We all learnt our TTs without it. They need to stop adding more and more

I think there is a problem with how they program and run the actual app. My child got more points doing 10x tables repeatedly for an hour than doing trickier multiplication sums. There is no incentive for kids to challenge themselves on it. Was v easy for my son to be number one in the school, but he was being awarded for the time spent doing easy work vs doing something challenging

banning ttrs but not sparx maths is absolutely criminal 😭 I used to love ttrs in primary and 6 years later in year 11 sparx maths is despising 💔

I’ve seen sooo many kids sat at the back of classrooms on tt rockstars because either they cannot access the level of learning or they have done the extension tasks. So yes I see it as a problem. But the problem mostly lies with the WHY and HOW it is used.

I think it’s good they are doing TT rockstar but for how long a day they need to be on it is ridiculous, my child has to be on TT rockstar for 40mins a day but yet at the highest level for maths. I feel some child who need it should be on it but the child who don’t need it should be on something else like grammar or extra reading etc

It’s more like a speed test - doesn’t actually teach them times tables just makes them quick at them. If you don’t know them in the first place you’ve got no chance.

Well then I suggest the MP’s in question come and try to teach a class for a week. Better yet, plan our maths lessons for us for the year

My child isn’t allowed screen time at all outside of whatever they do at school 🙈 we’re 100% supportive of homework, and provide our child with lots of workbooks, however we’ve also asked school (if they expect to see evidence of the homework) to provide homework that doesn’t rely on an app like TTRS. I understand teachers have huge workloads, but I only want a worksheet if the school is expecting to see evidence of the work completed as I’m not compromising my principles over homework 😬

Jesus wept, my kid’s teacher says TT rockstar is the homework so we do it, now I have to be worrying that’s wrong? We can’t win

Rubberchicken :
Surely not all screen time is the same and you can’t lump it in together. A bit of extra time on TT Rockstars surely only accounts for a small amount overall. Also, TT Rockstars is based in the way the kids get assessed by the DFE on the screen based assessments. This is idiotic

I think this about the reception baseline assessment - there are guidelines and restrictions about screen time in EYFS yet the RBA is on an iPad 🤯🤯🤯

Some kids can’t cope with the time pressure of it. Those with OCD can become fixated and dis regulated using it. I think each child need to have a healthy useage. We print sheets off for those who just can’t cope

Agree with you on gettingg them off screen for homework. I hate digital homework, my kids hate it. Questions are often repetitive. And teachers are not always aware of how long these tasks actually take students. The homework limiter of teachers having to mark it has been removed. I am currently dealing with sparx reader in secondary... my previously happy primary school reader refuses to read fiction on a screen. Books she reads off screen do not count towards reading targets?! Schools need to review homework on screen policies!

Our primary did competitions for who spent the most time on TTR each week. Now my daughters at highschool all homeworks online including maths.

I think the issue is the rewards for spending time on it, rather than rewarding them for answering questions correctly. I'd rather they spent 10 mins answering questions correctly than answering questions wrong to tot up coins. My youngest son also didn't like the timer

15 minutes a day practising times tables at home is absolutely fine. My kids don't have screen time at home Monday to Thursday, but my eldest has homework constantly on his phone. The majority of it is multiple choice, and he just clicks an answer. I honestly don't think he's learning much from it. I try to help him as much as I can, but I've got two other children who need to learn as well. 🙈 I just encourage him to at least try to work out the answer and write it down, but sometimes I feel like I'm talking to a brick wall! 🤣 Pre-teen drama! 🤣
