Educational Applications to Address Automaticity/Math Fact Fluency

During my mathematics instruction, I have found that some of my students continue to struggle with math automaticity and fluency. Knowing math facts is similar to knowing sight words when reading. It frees up the mind to be able to solve real-world math problems. When students are not able to solve basic math facts quickly and with ease, they have difficulty solving higher-level math concepts. Following are some educational applications that I would like to incorporate during my math instruction that can strengthen student automaticity and fact fluency.

FASTT Math
This intervention program enhances math fact fluency so that students can focus on building high-level thinking skills.

Times Attack
This program focuses solely on teaching multiplication facts, specifically the 2-12 times tables in a high-tech video game environment.

The ArithmAttack
This technology resource allows students to practice basic addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication facts. Problems can be customized to fit each students particular area of need.

Arcademic Skill Builder
This educational site offers math games designed to develop automaticity in addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, integers, fractions, and ratios.
