As part of our commitment to make maths exciting and high profile in our school, we are taking part in a friendly competition involving schools in Melbourne.

The competition will run from 7:30am on Tuesday 2nd September to 7:30pm on Thursday 4th September via play.ttrockstars.com.

Children can play in any game mode with every correct answer to a multiplication or division question, earning themselves, their class and the school a point. The Times Tables Rock Stars platform will calculate the class average (the number of correct answers per student in the class who play during the competition hours, subject to a daily 60-minute limit (see below)). Winning classes in the school and in the competition as a whole will be the ones with the highest average.

To support player wellbeing, there is a daily time limit of 60-minutes per player. In other words, after 60 minutes of play within a day (between 7:30am–7:30pm), students can still play and earn coins, but no additional points will count towards the competition.

In the spirit of the competition, please don't play on their behalf but by all means encourage and support them to the extent that it doesn't cause high stress levels or impact on family plans.
