# Times tables are life skills

  ![Image of Times tables are life skills](https://files.schudio.com/ststephenskm/images/blog/IMG_5602.JPG)  8 April 2020   [Lyndsey Faulkner](https://www.ststephenskearsley.co.uk/blog/author/Lyndsey)   [Year 5 Blog](https://www.ststephenskearsley.co.uk/blog/category/year-5-blog)

Our current heat map from times tables rockstars suggests we are getting a little bit rusty with only 28% of our class accessing this over the past 14 days ( well done if you are). Try to use TTRS for five minutes each day to keep this invaluable skill of rapid recall of multiplication facts fresh in your minds. I know that the site may be glitchy due to flow of online traffic due to our current global situation but you have worked too hard on your recall of facts to get rusty.  You can see from the heat map the tables that get are little tricky or we've become a little rusty on. If you can't get on the site ask someone to quiz you on the amber facts. Come on Year 5 we've got this.
