How to use it

  1. Choose the facts: addition or subtraction within 10 or 20, multiplication or division to 5, 10 or 12, one times table, or all four mixed.
  2. To print, pick a length and press Print test A and key. Each test has a Score line, a name and date line, and versions A, B and C so neighbors do not copy.
  3. To drill as a class, open Drill on the board, press Start and F for full screen. Space shows the answer, and Space again moves on. Use the progress record to let each student chart their own scores.

Ideas for class

  • Give a one-minute test of the same facts three days in a row and have each student chart the three scores on their own progress record.
  • Run the board drill as a five-minute warm-up with a seven-second timer, and have students whisper the answer before it appears.
  • Use one times table at a time: print the 7s test for the students who need the 7s and the mixed test for those who do not.
  • Pair students to give each other the test, one watching the clock and one answering, then swap with a different version.
  • Print the key for yourself only: tick Answer key, print all, and keep the last pages back.
  • Use the G and M keys during the drill to tally the class's got-it and missed counts, then choose the facts to revisit tomorrow from the missed ones.
  • Set the goal line on the progress record to a number each student chose themselves, and celebrate any step above their own last score.

Questions

How many facts are on each test?

Thirty facts for one minute, sixty for three minutes and a hundred for five minutes. They are meant to be more than most students can finish, so the number correct shows speed as well as accuracy.

Why do some facts repeat?

A test on one times table has only about a dozen different facts, so on a hundred-fact test they repeat in different orders. Mixed and larger-range tests repeat much less.

Can I keep students' scores here?

No, and that is deliberate. The progress record is a blank printed chart for students to fill in by hand. The drill's tally lives on the page until you close it. Nothing about a student is stored or sent.

Are the answer keys right?

The facts come from the same generators as our math worksheets, and the tests recompute every answer a second way and compare. Please still glance at the key before you grade a class set.

Do timed tests help or hurt?

That depends on the student. Some like the race and some freeze. Many teachers keep scores private, compare each student only with their own earlier score, and offer the untimed drill to students who find the clock hard.

How do I keep the drill from showing the answer too soon?

Set Time for each fact to No timer, and the answer appears only when you press Space. With a timer, the answer appears by itself when the bar runs out.

What fluency means

Fluency is being able to give a basic fact quickly and correctly without working it out each time, so that attention is free for the harder problem the fact belongs to. It has two parts, accuracy and speed, and a timed test measures both at once. A student who is accurate but slow needs more practice, not a lower grade, and a student who is fast but wrong needs to slow down and check.

Choosing the length

A one-minute test is quick enough to repeat daily and is the easiest to use as a warm-up. A three-minute test gives a steadier score, because a single slow start matters less. A five-minute test suits a mixed set of facts or a whole table and works as an end-of-unit check. Whatever the length, give the same one repeatedly so that a change in the score means something.

Using the scores

The most useful comparison is between a student and their own earlier score. The progress record is a blank chart for that: each student colors a bar to their score after each test and writes the date underneath. Look through the missed facts on the key for the same few facts, and give those more practice with a one-table test or with the flash drill.

The drill on the board

The drill shows one fact in very large type with a question mark for the answer. The timer bar counts down and then shows the answer, or you can show it yourself with Space. Because the class sees the answer together, the drill is a good place for students to say it aloud, to explain a strategy for a hard fact, or to notice patterns in a table.
