We also use an online math fact fluency program called
Reflex Math. Reflex Math is an interactive program that promotes math fact memorization, which is crucial in second grade.
Reflex starts all students out in addition & subtraction facts from 0-10. Once they've become fluent in that category, they move to multiplication and division facts 0-10 and then 0-12 upon mastering the previous.
The students follow the directions of "Crabby" as he guides them through three different parts of a typical lesson, which involves review, teaching of a new fact, & practice to apply that fact in a chosen game. Green lights are earned for every session where the students have approximately 15-20 minutes of productive, focused, beneficial work. Earning green lights allow students to access the store, where they can change their avatar or buy accessories using coins they've earned while playing various games. They can also access new games when they've logged on for consecutive days.
Students should be accessing this 4-5 times per week and earning "green lights" almost every time they log on. They have the opportunity to access the program 4 times in a typical school week, but may also use the time at home to earn more coins or green lights, or improve their fluency.
This program can be accessed from the attached link (click on "Reflex Math" at the top of this page) or by simply searching "Reflex Math" in Google.
