Students working hard and having fun increasing their math fact fluency.
Reflex Math is an individualized and adaptive computer program that is designed to help students learn and master basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division facts. It helps students get a better understanding of number concepts and fact families while playing math games students love. The program works at the child’s own pace and increases in difficulty as they improve. Students accelerate through the various activities and games until mastery.
Parents are able to log into the Reflex Math site to monitor their child’s progress and the children receive milestone certificates to celebrate their progress along the way. This program does not replace students’ regular classroom math instruction. Its purpose is to supplement classroom instruction and fill in some of the early math fact “gaps” students may have that slow down their progress when understanding and completing more complex math problems.
Students should not share the use of this program with other children or adults or their progress will not be measured accurately. However, free trials are available at the Reflex Math site if siblings or friends want to try a limited time subscription.
Progress is monitored regularly. Students play for about 20 minutes each day to reach the “Green Light,” which means they met their goal for answering enough facts with accuracy for that day. To improve, it is more important for children to get frequent short term practice than very long but less frequent sessions. Students are able to log in from smart cell phones, computers or tablets that have internet connection and play at home or “on-the-go.” Once finished with the addition/subtraction assignments, students will move on to multiplication and division fact fluency assignments. Additional 20 minute sessions of play on the weekends will help increase the speed at which students master the facts and move on to higher levels.
