A heatmap is all about fluency, measured through speed.

Every student that uses TT Rock Stars has a Heatmap. It shows you (and them!) how quickly they're correctly responding to each fact.

Heatmaps start coloured grey and as the student plays in all the different game modes (all except Jamming because Jamming doesn't have a timer) their Heatmap will be colour-coded to show their speed. We take an average of the last 10 times they answered that fact. Here's the colour key:

A dark red shows that in their last 10 attempts of the fact, they answered in over 10 seconds. A dark green shows that in their last 10 attempts of the fact, they answered in under 1 second.

Even better, Heatmaps are available for classes too! Learn more below...

To view and download heatmaps, please go to Stats > class name > Fluency

Here's an example heatmap for the whole class. The colours reflect how quickly the class are responding on average.

Hovering over a fact will show the average speed for the class. Clicking on a fact will bring up the average response time of each student. This data won’t be shown unless the student has answered that question 10 times or more, so don’t worry if some students are missing. They’ll be added as they play more games.

You can also choose to focus the stats in the heatmap on a specific table of your choice by simply clicking that table. as shown below:

With the Stats bolt-on you can use a slider above the heatmap to quickly see how much students have progressed over time.

On the same Fluency tab, scroll past the class heatmap to the student table and click on their name.

Once you've clicked their name, you'll see a pop-up showing their individual student heatmap. Like this:

Hover over a cell to see what the recall time is for that fact. The response time shown is an average of their most recent 10 correct response times to that question.

So in this example, the player has taken an average of 3.71s to correctly answer 5 × 2.

Select a particular table to inspect the data more easily.

With the Stats bolt-on you can even scroll back through a student's history of heatmaps to see how much they've improved!

At the top of the Fluency page, you’ll find a download student heatmaps button.

You can reward students for turning their heatmaps completely green by awarding them a Gone Green certificate.

Click here to learn how to automatically download completed certificates as soon as the students earn them (you must subscribe to the Stats bolt-on.)

If you don't have the Stats bolt-on, you can download blank certificates here.
