Becoming fluent with
the math facts for addition and subtraction is an important part of second
grade mathematics. Students are having fact check-ins to assess which facts
they have mastered and which ones need to be practiced. Math fact fluency
refers to the ability to recall the basic facts accurately, quickly and
effortlessly. 
When students achieve automaticity with these facts, they
have attained a level of mastery that enables them to retrieve them from
long-term memory without conscious effort or attention. By working to
learn their math facts early in the year, students are able to more easily and
confidently approach increasingly complex math problems that involve
multi-digit computation.
The second grade
students now have an online account with the “First in Math” website that
provides games for practicing facts. In
addition, card games and flash cards are used. Our goal is to make acquiring
math fact fluency fun!
