It is becoming a pattern that many students do not know their basic math facts. Ideally, these would be more automatic so when they are working a division or other problem, they're not stuck thinking about simple multiplication problems. Earlier this year, I learned that Wellman Elementary and Washington Township both use a program called Math Facts in a Flash so we thought we'd give it a try! The program takes students through the four basic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) and goes on to other topics such as fractions, decimals, percents, etc. Mr. Slabaugh came into our classroom today to show us how this worked. The good news is that students can access this from home as well--what a quick and easy way to get in 5-10 minutes of fact practice each day!
To access Math Facts in a Flash, go to:
