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).
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, a minimum of five students per class is required. If fewer than five from a class play during the competition then our algorithm will still divide by five to simulate there being five players in the class. This will reduce your class and school’s average.
No – all public leaderboards will display rock names.
Schools:
The winning schools will have the highest number of correct answers per student. 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 5 students in the class who take part. If fewer than 5 from a class play during the competition then our algorithm will still divide by 5 for the purpose of the average to simulate there being 5 players in the class.
