PentecostalMom Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 DD needs some solidification of basic addition and subtraction facts. I am hoping someone can point me to printable daily sheets. Somethere where I can choose the fact families, number or problems, etc. would be great. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunnyDays Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Can do! I love this site: www.math-drills.com Lots of free printables for all kinds of math problems. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boscopup Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I also use math-drills.com. When we needed to work multiplication facts, and DS's typing wasn't quick enough for Xtramath.org (which is basically online flash cards), I printed out the 5 minute drills from math-drills.com. I told him to do however many he could in 5 minutes. I also told him to skip any he didn't know immediately and just keep going. I did one table at a time, starting with x3 (he already knew x2 very well). He skipped 3x6 and 3x8 throughout the page. So as I went over it, I said, "Quick! What's 3x6?" By the end of the page, he knew 3x6 and 3x8 because we had had focused oral drill on just those two facts for the whole page. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom@shiloh Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 You can also use the worksheet generator at Math U See to print out a drill page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitestavern Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I used Math on the Level with my son and was very happy with the results. They are not free, but reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 5moretalents Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 One of the first things I would want to know is: Which facts does she already know? You'll have the best success if you only work on 1 or 2 new facts at a time, mixed in with reviewing facts she already knows. More is overload for the brain. That's one of the reasons I like software. I don't know if you are open to using software, but good software will adapt to your daughter, tell you what she knows/doesn't know, will work at the right pace for her, and will let you know if she encounters problems. However, this means that the software is choosing what she needs to work on next, instead of you, so you would have to be OK with that. As boscopup said, http://xtramath.org is a good program. Another one is http://mathfactspro.com, which uses a mouse instead of the keyboard, learns each student's speed instead of just using three seconds (I've known students who could count faster than three seconds), and is in the process of adding mnemonic videos to help students who struggle to remember facts. Like Xtramath, you can create an account, which makes it much more effective and allows for paperless tracking. There's a free trial for a year for 5 students or less.
