Math fact fluency also helps students solve more complex math problems more quickly. If they have mastered their math facts, these concepts will be significantly easier, and they will be better equipped to solve them more quickly.
If your student is spending a lot of time doing the basic facts, he or she is more likely to be confused with the process and get lost in the calculations. Also, he or she will focus all attention on the basic calculation instead of the higher-level concept that is involved in solving the problem. Math facts are also the building blocks for higher-level math concepts. In later elementary, students have longer and more complicated computations to complete to check their understanding of various concepts.
Many teachers are moving away from timed tests in the classroom and relying on math facts to be practiced weekly at home. Unfortunately, most children don't want to practice them and it ends up being a battle for all involved!
The Common Core states all 2nd graders must "Fluently add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies.
By end of Grade 2, know from memory all sums of two one-digit numbers. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers. This is an example of how rigorous the new Common Core is and how we as parents need to be aware of these standards and how we can help our children at home.
Traditional flash cards, like these addition flash cards and subtraction flash cards , are a good way to practice math skills, but you can also practice these five fun strategies for helping your children memorize their math facts without using flash cards: 1.
Colored Dice: Pick up a bag of colored dice at a local bookstore or pharmacy. Students roll the dice and either add or multiply the two numbers to practice their facts. This is an easy game for them to do while you are making dinner or even sitting at a restaurant.
You can play against each other and keep score of who has the greatest sum or product. As your kids get older, you can incorporate different colors to mean different operations. For example: choose 2 red dice and 1 white: Roll all 3 dice, add the 2 red dice, and then multiply by the white die.
This increases children's flexibility with numbers and speed as well. I always keep dice in my purse in case we are stuck waiting somewhere! Math War: Using either a deck of playing cards or a deck you've made out of index cards, play "war" to practice facts.
