XtraMath! Free Math Fact Fluency Practice!

My students and I love XtraMath and can't believe that it is actually free! I've been using XtraMath in my classroom since last school year! It's a web-based math fact practice program that builds your students' math fact fluency in addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. 

One session lasts approximately 8-10 minutes. My students do one session every day. I just love the format of this program.

If a student does not answer the math fact within the allowed time, the answer will faintly appear as you see below allowing the student to answer the math correctly. This helps the student to learn the fact. The keypad to the right can be hidden for students that prefer to use the computer keyboard to answer.

If students key in an incorrect answer, the incorrect answer will show as wrong, as well as the correct answer for the student to enter.

Students can see the ones they've mastered in green and the ones they will be working on next in gray.

 In the Race the Teacher session, targeted facts are repeated over and over each time they are answered incorrectly, providing a great amount of repetition for your students. 

 Students receive feedback throughout their session!

 And yes, this free site also provides simple "to the point" class or individual reports. Navigation through the site, printing reports and changing students' program is super quick and easy!

On the individual student report I can see exactly which facts my student needs more practice on. I can see the ones correct, incorrect, and the facts they were timed out on. 

Students can also do XtraMath at home and parents can monitor the reports too!

I have Scholastic FASTT MATH available at my school and my students and I still prefer to use this free site! I love the repetition it provides, the teaching of each fact, the reports, the student feedback, the parent involvement, and the simple navigation!!!

TPT Seller Challenge: Week One

Here goes the first challenge of week one for the big "TPT Seller Challenge!" It's MAKEOVER MADNESS where TPT sellers will give one of their products a makeover to make it better! One of the products I've needed to revamp is my "Ten Frame Addition & Subtraction." So thanks to this challenge it got done today! 

I absolutely love the new cover! Much more catchy and clean....what do you think?? 

Other changes I made are I added numbers to each problem on the pages. This is one thing I felt it was missing while using them with my kiddos. I also changed the directions to be more specific and to contain the vocabulary terms "sum" and "difference." I added bold lines around the problems, so as you can see, they stand out better and don't blend in with the ten frames like before. I updated the credits page to add my TOU, which I was not including in my first TpT creations. And last, I had no preview on this product. So not only did I add a preview, I added a GIF preview which I just learned how to do last week! Obsessed with these new previews!!!
