Maths Week London is back and aiming to inspire a passion for mathematics in children throughout the city, we’re excited to support their mission and help ignite a love of math in the next generation with our ever-popular London Rocks Competition!
How does it work?
Learners will try to answer as many multiplication and division questions correctly as they can. The winning school and class will be based on the highest average number of correct answers per pupil.Rules:
- Every correct answer that a student gives, in any game type, between the hours of 7:30am BST to 7:30pm BST each day will contribute to their class and school score.
- There is a 60-minute limit playtime per player, per day.
- Each class has a minimum player count of 10. If fewer than 10 in the class play in the competition, their total will be divided by 10 regardless.

- The competition is open to any school (primary, secondary or all-through schools) located in Greater London.
- To enter your school in the London Rocks, please login to your Times Tables Rock Stars account and head to Tournaments > London Rocks. Please accept the invitation and choose the Maths Classes that you would like to participate in the competition.

- You MUST unenroll any classes you don’t want to participate BEFORE the competition starts. Once the competition starts, you cannot change which classes are enrolled or unenrolled.
- The winners of the class competition are the ones with the highest average number of correct answers per pupil who played on Times Tables Rock Stars during the Competition Period.
- To calculate the average, our algorithm divides by the number of students who take part during the Competition Period. There needs to be a minimum of 10 students in the class who take part. If fewer than 10 from a class play during the competition then our algorithm will still divide by 10 for the purpose of the average to simulate there being 10 players in the class.
- Similarly, to calculate the school’s average, our algorithm divides by the number of students who take part during the Competition Period but will divide by 10 as a minimum.
- Answers given correctly by students on any game mode within Times Tables Rock Stars count towards the total scores (i.e. to include questions answered in Gig, Garage, Jamming, Studio, Arena, Festival and Soundcheck game modes). This ensures that students of all ages and levels can take part.
- Schools or classes deemed by Maths Circle to be taking measures that give them an unfair advantage may be removed from the competition.
