  What are you using for students who need extra practice with math facts? Have you found any good interventions? Many of the websites have good ideas to collect data, but lack quick and easy ways (besides flashcards) to practice those automatic math facts? I have some 6th grades that need support...thanks!

  I hear ya-I have some 5th graders who really need mega support too-one thing I saw the fourth grade (I think it was them) doing in the hallway was an oral practice. It was a yellow (I think) card with math facts listed- a bunch of facts on one card, and then there was a second card with all of the answers. The students was reading the problems aloud orally and giving the answer they thought was correct, while another individual was checking their oral response. So, it sounded like "one times two is two" and the adult checked. They seemed to be timed, but I don't know how it all works. I am thinking the oral and visual combo would help to get it stuck in their head. They could also record data about how they are doing. An adult could check, or I am thinking another buddy who needs the facts could check and then they could switch. I don't know how the whole thing works, but that is what I gathered from watching it while I was making copies. I am going to email LeBar and see what she says. What do you think?
