Friday 22nd March

On Wednesday of this week we got 4 laptops and set them up, outside on chairs, on ‘Times Tables Rock Stars’. We also got 4 thrisbys and 2 buckets and set up 4 cones a certain distance away from the buckets. We then had to try and throw the ball in the bucket and if we did then we were allowed to run and answer a calculation on the laptop. The times tables and division problems were set to three minutes and all groups started their 3 minute timer at the same time. Once the 3 minutes was up, the team with the most correctly answered times tables were the winners of that round. We played many different rounds with many different variations on ‘what we had to do to win the chance to answer a calculation’ and, all the while, we were getting plenty of division and multiplication practice in as well.
