On Friday morning the Junior School girls were welcomed with a rock and roll entrance from TT Rock Stars, Baz Wynters and staff, adorned in rock and roll attire.

TT Rockstars is a fantastic program for enabling the girls to not only practise their tables, but to have fun doing it in the context of the Rock Music world. Bruno Reddy (Baz Wynters), author of the program, and brother of DAHS Alumna Natalia Baker (2001) instils confidence and competence for children’s mental fluency with tables, including the use of the inverse (division) to cement understanding.

Our girls will practise their times tables this term on the TT Rockstars app, and make connections between numbers more quickly whilst having fun competing against other times tables rockstars. Times tables form the building blocks of understanding in so many areas of mathematics, and having knowledge at their fingertips is a great way to approach other mathematical problems with confidence. Rock on Bedford Girls’ Junior School.
