We also developed a program to help our 5th grader learn his math facts. It
incorporates a timer and a score charting feature so children can see real
improvements in their math fact recall, giving them an incentive to try again
and improve their scores. It's listed as a resource on mathforum.org and is now
free for home use. We also developed a network version for use in resource
rooms at schools. You can find it at www.quickreckoning.com/quickmathfacts.htm.
See if you like it!
Best wishes,
Margaret Groves
