I'm starting to see a lot of progress with math facts this year! The program I am using has really taken off. I've had kids cry when they don't pass! I also have some that were so proud that they passed they were begging me to take their test home to show someone! What's neat is when I hear them asking each other what facts they are on! I use this free download from TPT. We basically practice four days a week for 10-15minutes and test every week. I have one student getting ready to start subtraction and probably fly throughn!
Last year when I came back from maternity leave in January is when I started this so we are way ahead of things this year. One of my students last year was starting on multiplication and they usually don't start that until well into 2nd grade so I was amazed to say the least. Its hard sometimes to challenge students who come to you knowing things. Sometimes I think just exposing them gives them an edge.
I created a subtraction facts mastery and facts cards and put them on TPT also. I created these before I saw that there is also subtraction in the free download I mentioned above. Mine is slightly different on the order and some of the facts covered.
Here is the link to my subtraction fact mastery: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Subtraction-Fact-Mastery
Have a great Wednesday! Half way through the week!!!!
