Fact Fluency

Fact Fluency: Mastering Multiplication is a unique math app for kids in 1st through 4th grade. Through animated tutorials, meaningful visuals and engaging, interactive games, kids will master the multiplication facts, one set at a time. They will learn how multiplication relates to addition, the real world and other multiplication facts.

Kids begin by working through learning paths for the multiplication facts in an order that makes sense: x2, x10/x5, x4, x3, x6, x9, x7 and then x8.

In the x2 set, they begin by seeing multiplication as equal groups. They then practice skip counting and repeated addition to see how skills they already know relate to multiplication. They then move on to x10 and x5, since these are typically the easier facts for kids to master. This module helps them to build confidence as they learn multiplication. This module uses place value, dimes and nickels to help kids build on math that is already familiar and build a strong foundation. They will also see how the x5 facts relate to the x10 facts, again, building fact fluency.

Subsequent modules weave in additional skills related to multiplication, while still only focusing on one set of facts at a time. As kids progress through each path, they will learn the commutative property of multiplication, learn how to break apart area models to solve problems, use number lines and hundred chart to solve and use number bonds to visualize fact families and see how multiplication relates to division.

Throughout the modules, kids will also practice finding the missing factor, further strengthening their understanding of multiplication, adding an additional challenge and paving the way to learn and master the multiplication facts.

After successfully completing all 8 multiplication fact modules, they can use the 1- and 2-player review games to review a mixture of all facts. These simple games provide the repetition and practice kids need to solidify the facts using engaging games rather than flash cards or rote memorization.

By using powerful visuals and meaningful strategies to learn the facts and build comprehension, your kids will be on their way to fact fluency and mastering the multiplication facts from 2-10!
