Students’ times table recalling skills have been put to test this week as the Maths department looks for its numeracy superstar.
As this year’s numeracy drive at the Secondary Phase comes to an end a series of times tables competitions are being held in form time.
This week students in Years 7,8 and 9 have been challenged in CAPS using the Times Tables Rock Stars website as a reminder of the importance of learning and quickly recalling times tables as a valuable numeracy tool.
Staff have been entering into the spirit of the rock star theme and have been seen in the Academy dressed up in funky wigs and with inflatable guitars to help promote the inter-form and year group competition.
A ‘Hall of Fame’ for the times tables rock stars has also been set up in the Maths department.
Maths Teacher at KSA, Mr Stephen Ready said: "This Friday, the fastest Year 7 students will be put to the test in a final round to find out who is the 'Times Tables Rock God'. The best form will also be rewarded and will all be given the red carpet treatment!"
Next week it will be turn of Years 8 and 9.
