Math Fact Fluency Online Free | MathFactLab

 

Help your students master the basic math facts:

A totally-free, strategy-based approach to math fact fluency.
Teacher created free, MathFactLab’s strategy based online practice develops both online math facts practice and number sense.

A Different Kind of Math Fact Fluency Website:

MathFactLab is teacher-created, and we've taken the advice of the world's best researchers of mathematics education to build a free website for online math fact fluency practice that is based on reasoning strategies and sense-making.

There are dozens of math facts programs on the market, some glossier than others, but they all generally rely on the same ineffective method: rote memorization through drill.

MathFactLab students are not asked to blindly memorize facts. Instead, by engaging with multiple models - such as number lines, area models, bar diagrams, ten frames, dice, beads, coins, and clock faces - our students enhance their number sense as they construct a deep understanding of the basic math facts.

Our Emphasis is on Understanding:

At MathFactLab, we represent each of the basic math facts with a variety of models. This helps our students to understand the basic facts in multiple ways and to recognize them as components of math fact families, whether we are talking about addition facts, subtraction facts, multiplication facts or division facts.

For example, as our math students practice basic multiplication fact fluency (alongside division fact fluency), they may see these problems represented with number lines, dice, bar diagrams, open arrays and area models, to name a few. These math fact strategies help our students to realize that they can construct new math facts with previously mastered ones.

Strategy-Based Math Fact Fluency:

Students working on addition fact fluency (alongside subtraction fact fluency), will practice with ten frames, rekenrek beads, number lines, and double-bar diagrams. This will help them see that the addition facts and subtraction facts form math fact families, which greatly simplifies the process of learning the basic facts.

Frequent exposure to these visual models helps our math students to construct mental models and deepen their conceptual understanding of the basic operations. Division and multiplication facts suddenly become two sides of the same coin! All this helps to build a foundation for overall math fluency.

When students regularly complete math facts practice online with MathFactLab, they begin to see the manifold patterns and relationships that interconnect the basic facts. This, in turn, leads to easier mastery, increased engagement in math class, and greater student success in mathematics.

Math teachers, whether your elementary students need practice with addition facts or multiplication times tables, MathFactLab will serve them well!

About Us:

Creator: Designed by Vermont fifth-grade math teacher Mike Kenny, MathFactLab is based on the idea that pattern recognition makes math easier to learn.

Each year, Mike found that many of his students came to fifth grade lacking basic math fact fluency. Frustrated that the math fact materials commercially available did not match what research recommended, he gradually came to the conclusion that he ought to try creating his own math fact program. MathFactLab is the result of several years of effort, much research, a great heap of advice, many drafts, and lots of trial and error in Mike’s classroom and beyond.

Mike is happy to hear your questions, feedback and/or suggestions.
