We have added a selection of interactive tools that you can use to support learners in understanding times tables concepts, both with multiplication and division. 

How to use:

You can find the tools by:

  • Logging in to TTRS as a teacher

  • Clicking Interactive Tools in the left menu

This is what the overall selection of tools looks like when you first open it.

Setting the tables fact:

You can either choose a random fact, hide the fact entirely, or select your own fact.
To select your own fact, either click to the left or right of a number to change it up/down, or click directly on the number to type in your own choice.

Switching between multiplication and division:

Toggling between the options will tailor the tools to support you in teaching the appropriate facts.

Using the tools

You can use the little cross symbol to expand a tool to full-screen.
You can use the little '?' symbol to see help and teaching ideas for each of the tools.

Each of the tools has a teacher guide, if you'd like some more guidance on their use.  Just use the '?' symbol.
