xtramath.org



Xtramath.org
This website is fantastic!  It’s a great way to develop basic fact fluency.  Sign in as a teacher and set up your student accounts.  It’s easy!  There are videos to explain each step for teachers as well as one to share with students before they begin.  I highly recommend the videos since they are short but provide helpful tips, such as adjusting the program to meet the needs of different learners.  Students practice their facts and their progress is tracked for you.  Students can view which particular facts they still need to master and can play additional games to practice them.  Once they have mastered their multiplication facts, they are awarded a certificate of completion and may move on to division.  It’s quite an accomplishment!  Xtramath has sparked the competitive spirit in my class and students have really stepped up the basic fact practice.  It’s been a great addition to my classroom this year!
