Fact Fluency
Many children and teachers are very excited about finishing facts. The purpose of fact fluency is to be able to purposely practice facts and the strategies that help us figure out facts. Once a child has completed the fact fluency assigned, there are many options:
The students may:
Go on Splashmath
Do Xtramath (customize to less time per fact)
Run a station/center
Peer tutor
Play bump games
Play card games with facts
Pull out Everyday Math fact games
It is our recommendation that until the students in lower grades learn strategies (arrays, close to facts, etc) to solve the multiplication facts, you do not move on to these higher levels. This goes back to the memorization vs memory philosophy.
