How it works

Getting a fact right isn't the same as knowing it. Practice Fast Math keeps practicing each fact until your child answers it right away.

  1. Fast means fluent

    A fact counts as learned once your child answers it correctly within three seconds on three of their last five tries. The clock stops at the first tap, so slow typing never counts against them.

  2. Short sittings

    A practice session is never more than 20 cards. Early sessions are just a handful of cards, and they grow as there's more to practice.

  3. A few new facts at a time

    Each session introduces at most four new facts. The rest of the session practices facts your child is still learning.

  4. Review is built in

    Learned facts come back on a spacing schedule. If one starts to slip, it goes back into regular practice until it's quick again.

  5. Every miss gets another try

    Missed cards come back in another round, until every card in the session has been answered correctly.

  6. See what needs work

    History shows every session: each fact, whether it was right, and how long it took. That makes it easy to spot the facts that need more practice.

Addition

  1. +0, +1, and +2
  2. Doubles
  3. Pairs that make 10
  4. Near doubles
  5. +9 and +8
  6. And the rest

Subtraction

Each subtraction fact is the reverse of an addition fact, taught in the same order, so 15 − 8 builds on 7 + 8.

Mixed

Addition and subtraction shuffled together, so your child has to read each sign.

Multiplication

  1. ×2, ×10, ×5
  2. ×1 and ×0
  3. Squares
  4. ×9, ×4, ×3
  5. ×11 and ×12
  6. The last hard facts
