Key Stage 2

MTC Cup

We love the MTC on Emile especially all of the data which is available afterwards.  I must let you know that our scores went up HUGELY last year, and I very much feel your app contributed to this success.  

Our children love it!!!

Emile makes such an improvement to the children's multiplication skills. ...Our September average score was 5.1, I thought they stand no chance of reaching the MTC national average from last year let alone whatever it is increased to this year. However, on Friday their average score was 23.5!

ur Year 3 and 4 children have found the MTC Cup extremely motivating. It has boosted their scores dramatically with many children scoring 25/25 for the very first time. However, and probably most importantly, their confidence has soared! Children who usually dread doing their times tables smiling and talking about how well they are doing! Absolutely brilliant!
Sarah Kell
My Year 4 class love this competition.It’s super easy to set up and very easily accessible. The children get 15 minutes before assembly and then their full Maths lesson to access the competition. It’s very user friendly and every child has the opportunity to have a go.The competition is great for improving their times tables scores and acts as an incentive to practice more at home. 
Megan Reynolds
So engaging for all children, whatever their ability. Instant feedback and sense of determination to improve scores as they are so competitive! ... I would absolutely agree that it has improved the children's confidence and ability to answer correctly as they understand the impact it has as a whole class. Definite sense of teamwork and encouraging each other to do their best.
Rosalind Brock
Kids absolutely loved taking part and they all said they noticed a big improvement in their scores over the course of the event. Some of them carried on at home on the Wednesday evening and when they got up on the Thursday - that's commitment for you!
