FasttMath Fluency and Automaticity through Systematic Teaching with Technology

Purpose of the Program  The purpose of this program is to develop automaticity in recalling basic math facts  Some fourth graders are struggling with basic math facts and need individual help  Lack of basic skills is affecting their ability to work longer problems in an accurate and timely manner  Technology will motivate students much more than flash cards  The high numbers of repetition needed will be best presented in a varying and fun format
