Math Facts: The Key to unlocking problems!

Learning math facts is a priority for all grade levels at RCES. When students know their facts, they are more confident and able to solve problems. Learning math facts is crucial because they are the building blocks for more advanced math concepts, allowing students to solve complex problems faster and more accurately.

We strongly encourage all families to spend 10 minutes each night working with their children on math facts at home. There are many fun ways to practice: flashcards, math fact games, or even giving kids facts in the car on your way to a practice or the store. Encourage them to get faster each time they practice.

At school, we will practice math facts using a program called XtraMath. Please watch for more information from your child's teacher. This program will be used for daily practice and to track progress.

Recommended fact practice by grade:

  • Kindergarten: Addition and subtraction to 5
  • 1st grade: Addition and Subtraction to 10
  • 2nd grade: Addition and Subtraction to 12 (3 seconds)
  • 3rd grade: Multiplication facts to 10 (3 seconds)
  • 4th grade: Multiplication facts to 12 (3 seconds)
  • 5th grade: Multiplication and division facts to 12 (3 seconds)
