- TTRS- Times Table Rock Stars
TTRS- Times Table Rock Stars is a carefully sequenced programme of daily times table practice. Learning your times tables is key to many areas of mathematics and it is our aim that children will develop instant recall of their times table facts. The expectation is that by the end of Year Two, children will know their 2, 5, and 10 times tables. By the end of Year Four, children should know all of their times tables up to 12 x 12.
