Practicing Math Facts

Spend 5-10 minutes a night practicing Math Facts and you’ll find your automaticity goes way up!  Flash cards work when used in pairs, but when you’re alone, check out these fun sites.  If you’re making a lot of errors, work on one or two sets of facts at a time, then slowly add in more.

 

 

New to this list: Be sure to practice your 6, 7, 8 and 9s!
