 Math Fact fluency is *vital* for math success. Fluency frees up your learner's working memory, allowing more "brain space" for problem solving. Make math easier for your child by ensuring they know their math facts fluently (should be able to answer in about one second!) Math Facts Fluency Builder provides: -- Multiplication and division math facts introduced in learnable groups. -- Built-in timers to ensure fluency at all levels. Earlier levels allow more time. Final levels require FAST answering! -- Students progress only when mastery of the current skill is demonstrated. -- 'At a glance' reporting shows you instantly how your learner is progressing. -- The fun Reward Center motivates even hesitant learners. Our apps are designed for and tested by typical and special needs children. Testers include children with Autism and other special needs. Our apps work for them!
