At Pondhu Primary Academy, we use the programmes Numbots and TTRS to help embed number facts and engage learners in a fun and enjoyable way. Each child will have their own unique login, that they can use to access their own games, build their own status and earn coins towards their own character. Pupils can use the same username and password for both programmes.
Numbots is aimed at EYFS and Y1; it helps to build up fast recall of what numbers look like (subitising) as well as improving addition and subtraction fluency for numbers within 20. Below is a short video designed for parents to help support numbots at home. To see the benefits of the programme, it is recommended that pupils play short 5 or 10-minute games, 4 or 5 times a week.
Times Tables Rockstars (TTRS), is aimed at pupils in Y2 onwards but can be accessed by younger pupils who are excelling at Numbots. It is designed to automatically train pupils based on their current level and has a range of fun and engaging game types to suit a variety of different learners. Below is a short video designed for parents to help support TTRS at home. To see the benefits of the programme, it is recommended that pupils play short 10-minute games, 4 or 5 times a week.
