This approach to teaching basic math facts, grounded in years of research, will transform students’ learning of basic facts and help them become more confident, adept, and successful at math.
Mastering the basic facts for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division is an essential goal for all students. Most educators also agree that success at higher levels of math hinges on this fundamental skill. But what’s the best way to get there? Are flash cards, drills, and timed tests the answer? If so, then why do students go into the upper elementary grades (and beyond) still counting on their fingers or experiencing math anxiety? What does research say about teaching basic math facts so they will stick?
In Math Fact Fluency, experts Jennifer Bay-Williams and Gina Kling provide the answers to these questions—and so much more. This book offers everything a teacher needs to teach, assess, and communicate with parents about basic math fact instruction, including
The five fundamentals of fact fluency, which provide a research-based framework for effective instruction in the basic facts. Strategies students can use to find facts that are not yet committed to memory. More than 40 easy-to-make, easy-to-use games that provide engaging fact practice. More than 20 assessment tools that provide useful data on fact fluency and mastery. Suggestions and strategies for collaborating with families to help their children master the basic math facts.
Math Fact Fluency is an indispensable guide for any educator who needs to teach basic math facts.

Title: Great reading and great games
Review: I bought this book after watching one of Bay-Williams webinars. Well worth it. I’m an Elementary Math Instructional Coach and have been using several of her quick games in my teaching. Students look them and they really reinforce needed skills.

Title: Great book with practical fakes to build conceptual fluency
Review: Great book with tons of fakes to build conceptual fluency that use manipulatives typically found in elementary classrooms.

Title: Games?
Review: The games were not what I was expecting. I was hoping for pages I could just photocopy for the games. These games have to be created by you. So they have lots of great ideas, it’s just not easily ready for you to use.

Title: Best Book on HOW to Teach Math Facts
Review: I’d recommend every elementary school math teacher and most middle school math teachers to own this book. Math facts fluency is as core to math as decoding is to reading but it’s been lost in a lot of classroom. Dr. Williams guides how to teach math facts in an engaging, personalized way that will make those facts STICK!
