Math App and Skill Safari Settings
Allow access to Twinkl Math App?
‘Yes’ needs to be checked for children to open the app.
Allow access to Skill Safari?
If this is checked ‘No’, children won’t be able to access this area of the app. We recommend checking ‘Yes’ and selecting the year group the child is working within from the drop down. The year group can’t be seen by your learners so you can choose to assign a child to a different year group without affecting their confidence.
NOTE: Year groups are used in the UK instead of grades but translate the same:
Year 1 → Grade 1
Year 2 → Grade 2
Year 3 → Grade 3
Year 4 → Grade 4
Year 5 → Grade 5
Year 6 → Grade 6
Multiplication Tables Check Settings
Allow access to Multiplication Tables Check?
If this is checked ‘No’, children won’t be able to access this area of the app. We recommend checking ‘Yes’ for children in Grades 2 and higher who have a good conceptual understanding of multiplication.
Custom Times Tables
You have a choice of toggles for the Multiplication Tables Check area of the Math App.
Custom check settings:
Use this option if you’d like to adjust the settings for a student or group of learners. The settings you can customize are:
- Time to Answer (Seconds) - children have 6 seconds in statutory check
- Number of Questions - children will have 25 in statutory check
- Time Between Questions - children are given a 3 second pause between questions in statutory check
- Times Tables Includes - choose specific times tables as a focus or add each set of tables as children begin to learn them.
- Show timer - the timer can be switched off which can help some children who may feel panicked by it.
- Practice Questions - There are practice questions in the statutory check but you can choose to remove these.
- Colour theme - Some children find different colour combinations easier to read.
Allow learner to choose:
Use this option if you'd like to give learners the independence to adapt the check to their own needs.
