To what extent does technology enhance the acquisition of times table knowledge and the fast and accurate recall of times table facts?

The purpose of this study was to examine to what extent technology enhances or reduces the acquisition of times tables and the fast recall of them. For six months, three children in each class in Key Stage 2 were given login details for an online app called ‘Timestable Rockstars’. These children were given the opportunity to access the app three times a week whilst the remaining children in the class practised times tables using a range of other popular methods, without the use of technology. All teachers within Key Stage 2 found that the use of technology to support the learning of and fast recall of times tables was successful and that children with logins, improved significantly compared to their counterparts in the study.
