Math Fact Fluency Practice
Math Fact Fluency Practice
We, along with the authors of Everyday Mathematics, believe that math fact fluency is a vital component in math success. Students should spend five to ten minutes each school night practicing to reach mastery by the end of the year. Ways to practice math facts are listed below.
- XtraMath website. More information about this site is listed below in the Math Websites for Extra Practice section.
- Games
- Roll two dice: Add, subtract, or multiple the dice. Challenge: create a word problem with the two numbers.
- Math War: Using a deck of cards, flip over two cards just like the game of war. For addition, add the numbers and the highest sum wins. For subtraction, subtract the numbers and the lowest difference wins. For multiplication, multiply the numbers and the highest product wins, and for an added challenge have your child give you the inverse division problem. The person with the most cards wins.
- Slapjack - Using a deck of cards, play slapjack but without the jacks! Lay two cards down. Add, subtract, or multiply the numbers. The first person to say the answer can slap the cards and wins the pile. The person with the most cards wins.
- You or your child could also make flash cards to practice.
