Student Testimonials:
I really enjoyed taking this class. The class met my goals by providing me knowledge of the 3 phases of student learning for math facts and strategies I can use with my students for all 3 phases. What I learned in this class has better prepared me to teach math facts to my new kindergarten class making achieving fluency in a fun and engaging way for my students.
I am very excited to create a classroom where all 3 phases are used. I want my students to love math and feel successful learners. I want them to be excited to keep learning math. This class has given me the tools I need to create such a learning environment for my students.

I greatly appreciated this class. Math fact fluency is something that we are constantly struggling with and have tried a variety of strategies, none of which seemed to stick or have any science/research behind them. I’m very happy with all that I learned in this class, and I especially liked the text. I think it will be helpful to reference and share with my colleagues, and it was also an easy read, which I appreciated.
This class has given me more information on what I should be implementing, how to do so, and how certain skills/strategies are extremely important. This class has also affirmed that some of the things I was already doing (like certain games), building number sense, are helpful and the right thing to be doing. It made me reflect on the importance of class, peer, and teacher discussions, and that I need to allow time for those conversations to occur. I need to continue to pose questions, the right questions, that promote critical thinking. I also enjoyed learning about different online resources that I hadn’t yet heard of or experienced.
Moving forward, I’m excited to implement a variety of new, meaningful games (and the correct way to introduce them), posing those “just right” questions, focusing on student learning goals, and using different students’ ideas and strategies in a variety of discussions.
