    Math Fact Fluency

    Posted by Maureen Rowe on February 17, 2021 at 2:15 pm

    I have tried many programs, and different strategies to help student to learn their basic multiplication and division facts. I do have some success stories, but many leave my room knowing it, and then lose it when they get into the higher grades. I don’t think it just needs to be memorized and I have many tricks ex. x4 is a double double. Does anyone have any strategies that have shown more success?

      Thanks. I have definitely moved from memorization type programs, that only worked for some and stressed others out. I am trying a fact family program, that is not timed and drill but teaches ways tricks and concepts that relate multiplication and division.

        Awesome. Which one is it?

        When you say “tricks” do you mean strategies? It sounds like there is connecting and relationship building.

    I read the book “Math Fact Fluency” by Jennifer Bay-Williams and Gina Kling. It really changed the way I thought about fact fluency. There are great assessment tools and an abundance of easy games that you can have students play to improve their fluency. There is a companion site with the games: https://kcm.nku.edu/mathfactfluency/games.php.

      Awesome! Looking forward to reading that book. Jennifer Bay Williams is a part of our virtual summit this year! Woot!
