1) Students are on autopilot with this site. The review is just a few minutes long and then another student’s name is chosen to practice next. It’s perfect to set up during your morning work routine. A student video is also provided to show students how the process works at the beginning of the year.
2) Useful data is provided to keep you and parents updated on student progress.
3) Once students pass an operation level (going in order from addition, subtraction, multiplication to division), you can print out a nifty certificate for them. And they come in multiple languages! I print mine out in Spanish for my immersion kiddos – added bonus!
4) It’s free! And the setup is fairly simple. XtraMath does a great job at explaining how to start the program.
UPDATE: This year I am trying out these Top Banana trophies. My kids are so excited! Grab them at Amazon with this affiliate link.
I also take a picture of the student and add it to my XtraMath Chamipions folder in the SeeSaw app for peers and parents to see.
And that’s it! Easy to implement and the students are always eager to practice.
If you’re looking for some other ways to have your students practice math fact fluency, be sure to check out the following post, too (those multiplication cards you see are FREE). 🙂 Happy teaching!
