lexi Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 We are starting Beast Academy 3A (it's tricky! My brain hurts-but we like it so far). However, I'd like my dd to have some daily fact practice sheets-addition, subtraction, and multiplication. Recommendations? I'd rather not have to print them all out. I'd prefer workbooks. Are there any that are colorful and have fun activities rather than just fact practice pages? I think I remember seeing some from Mindware but are there more?

Nart Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 It isn't colorful but it worked for my son. It is a workbook that is around 230 pages long called Two Plus Two is Not Five. My son did two pages a day. They go over strategies to learn both addition and subtraction facts. The next book is Five Times Five is Not Ten and it covers multiplication. Playing games to learn the math facts did not work for my son, he needed the written drill to get them down automatically. He can now do a page of 30 addition or subtraction problems (facts up to/from 18) in 60 seconds or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerileanne99 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Do you have an IPad? We have a couple of math apps we practice fact fluency on daily in addition to our regular math. One we really love is Math Bingo. It allows you to choose add/sub/mult/div, so I can make sure she does a bit of each every day. It also allows you to select easy/med/hard in each operation.

Farrar Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Not exciting, but a cheapie Spectrum workbook is now working for ds. We were doing the Key to books, but I wanted something that covered division and reviewed some other basic grade level stuff. I chose it because it's easy. I needed something easy and traditional to pair with BA. When he gets frustrated with BA, I send him to do Spectrum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollo_la Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Wow, just checked out that Two Plus Two book on Amazon. That looks really good. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexi Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 Thanks for the thoughts! I'm going to check those out. Does anyone else have a simple math fact workbook recommendation? I want something that she can do weekly for review. She's the kind of kid that needs that review and practice and she actually likes workbooks! Go figure........

Monica_in_Switzerland Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 It's not a workbook, but we love the XtraMath website. It's free, and it is basically flashcard style fact practice (not a game). It goes through all the operations, waiting for mastery of one before moving on to the next. It remembers weak areas and reinforces them. The website describes itself as a "math vitamin" - it takes 5-6 minutes a day, and is best done daily. It really is pain-free.

Kerileanne99 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 There are of course, the math fact work books from Kumon. A separate book for each operation. My dd went through them all when she was younger simply because she was desparate for the little certificate of accomplishment at the back:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jer2911mom Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Have you looked at the R&S speed drills books? HTH, Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndGenHomeschooler Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I bought the Timed Math Facts books from Rainbow Resource. There is one for each operation. No fun games or anything, but they are reproducible so I can use them for all of my kids. I just copy what I want. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiana Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 If she likes workbooks and you just want facts, I'd check out dollar store/walmart workbooks -- cheap, convenient, easy to look at before you buy. If you'd rather just print your own, try the free ones here -- http://www.mathfactcafe.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
