Tagtiv8, TT RockStars and Number Days

by Bryn Llewellyn

Times Tables Rock Stars and Tagtiv8 were both formed by teachers with a passion for making a difference to the lives of children – and teachers! We are both committed to making learning fun, active and relevant.

It’s all about creating opportunities with positive outcomes:

“I used to think I was rubbish at Maths - but now I know I’m not.” Ethan, Year 5 

Thanks to TRRS, children can even ‘skin up’ their avatars with Tagi and Tiva.

Tagtiv8 mixes Multiplication, Music and Movement - we also activate Numbots too! How do we do so?

Number Days and Number Weeks

TT Rock Stars introduced us to the team at NSPCC a few years ago and we have supported them via our schools ever since. Check out this #NumberDay post from one awesome school in West Yorkshire. Such days have a long lasting impact too. Here’s a quote from a newsletter from Darley Dene PS - part of Lumen Learning Trust:

“This week the children have been in high spirits thoroughly enjoying maths week. Monday kicked off with everyone dressed up and the staff as well as the children enjoyed being rock stars for the day. There has been something exciting every day but a highlight was the Tagtiv8 sessions which Year 6s led for our younger children - they were such a success we are looking to repeat the experience on a more regular basis. A huge thank you to Mrs.Mackie for her leadership of such a fun and enriching week and to all the staff who have made sure all the plans have come to life in such an engaging and energetic way.”

In conjunction with West Ham United Community Foundation, we co-created some awesome Maths resources around squad numbers. Contact us for your free resources.

CreActivity Days

We can work and play with some or all of your children – focussing on their chosen times tables or number bonds. How do we do this?

  • Using Tagtiv8 number games to generate enthusiasm for Mathematics

  • Blending Tagtiv8 ‘move & learn’ approaches with the online TT Rock Stars platform

  • Introducing the children & teachers to new games such as ‘Riff! Rap! Kerrang! and ‘Guitar Jumps!’

  • Enabling teachers with skills to deliver their own ‘move & learn’ approaches for multiplication

  • Empowering teachers to take learning beyond the classroom

Our Creactivity Days are bespoke to the needs of your school, learners and teachers.

We can offer:

  • assemblies to launch the day or celebrate the event at the end of the day

  • physically active learning sessions for whole classes or targeted groups of children

  • a working lunch for key teachers

  • an after-school CPD session for all staff

  • resources and practical ideas to engage all learners – from EYFS to Y6
