Eliminate finger or skip counting. Average 10 newly fluent facts/week. Free if you do the tracking (click an operator above for the Lite version); or $1/student/year if we do it (with 4X improved efficiency, a video game, and no math facts paperwork!). Watch the video below, or create an account on Math Facts Pro to try it for yourself.
Not too easy, nor too hard. Just right. We aim for 90-95% fluency in practice to keep in the zone of proximal development. We track facts correct, not minutes spent on a screen. Students will never see a wrong answer. Mastery is based on 9 out of the last 10 tries both correct and fast enough. Cut-off speeds are customized because students’ response speeds vary. We know which facts each student needs to focus on for maximum growth, and we use spaced repetition to move them to automaticity.
Our mission is to make your job a little easier. Need a quick assessment? Have your students do 100 facts for free (use the operator buttons above for the Lite version) and print their results. Using an account lets us remember what we’ve learned about how to help each student, so we don’t start over each time. 400% greater efficiency when usage is tracked. An account also provides tracking of growth and practice history. Take a free 30 day trial of the full program. No credit card required. What you see is what you get. No surprises. If you find the tracking helpful, the cost is just $1/seat/year (12 months). No need for a grant! Pay online (cards processed securely by PayPal), or with a purchase order.
A study of over 1,400 users showed a direct correlation between practice on Math Facts Pro and fluency. Students who practiced less than 50 facts/week averaged a gain of 2.2 newly fluent facts/week, while those who practiced 250 facts/week (a five minute, 50 fact session for each of 5 days) gained 10.5 newly fluent facts/week, almost 5x as much! It isn’t just practice that gets you to Carnegie Hall, it’s effective practice.
Math facts assessment and practice can be tedious, so we make it more fun with joke videos. (Carefully screened by us.) After a daily assessment/practice session, students who are logged in can play our first highly focused video game, Mars Defense (create a free trial now), because more practice = greater fluency, and more motivation = more practice (and less complaining - smile). Being able to concentrate and beat a game while answering math facts without thinking about them is also a great way to practice for following along with a teacher’s higher level math instruction without having to think about the fact answers. More games to follow.
Favorite Joke: (# 72) There were three monsters, called Manners, Mind-Your-Own-Business, and Trouble. They had the day off from the circus, so they went on a holiday. All of the sudden, Trouble disappeared! Being good friends of his, Manners and Mind-Your-Own-Business decided to report Trouble missing at the police station. When they got there, Manners was pretty scared, so he stayed outside. Mind-Your-Own-Business went inside to tell the police what was going on. The desk sergeant asked him his name, and he said, “Mind-Your-Own-Business.” The desk sergeant said crossly, “Where’s your manners?” “Outside.” On hearing such rudeness, the desk sergeant said, “Are you looking for trouble?” Mind-Your-Own-Business said, “Yes, Please!”
