How to Teach Math
Facts by Susan Greenwald. Teacher Created Resources, © 1999, reprinted
2004. For grades 1-4. Reproducible for classroom use. 144 pages. I'm putting
this book first, out of my usual alphabetical order, because I don't want anyone
to miss it. We have a lot of drill and practice books below, but this one covers
all four operations. It has helpful teacher tips, and also tricks for students
to use as they learn math facts. This program will work for a variety of
children: learning disabled students, mildly retarded students, physically
challenged students; preschoolers with appropriate readiness skills; upper level
students who need remedial work, ADD students, and, of course, any child trying
to master math facts for the first time. Instructions are given for integrating
this program with your regular math curriculum.
Key components for success in this program include the useful
tips for teaching facts, adult-directed lessons, repetition, progress through
sequential steps, individualization, and one-on-one practice, at least three
times a week. Several helpful reproducible charts and practice worksheets are
included -- even some word problems. All answers to exercises are also included.

 Edupress Math in a Flash drill cards and accessories:
This motivating way for students to drill won the Dr. Toy award for 10 best
children's products. The classroom tested, kid-selected flashcard size invites
students to pick them up, play, and learn. Sets of facts are color-coded
so that peer comparisons are not so easily made as when sets are labeled with
numbers or letters. Clean-up is also easy. Cards can be sorted by color, making
them perfect for learning centers. Students are assigned a color to master,
which they can keep organized on rings. They can track their progress on
bookmark-size progress trackers, also color coordinated, and quickly study on a
matching color coded notebook chart.

Math Warm-ups: Developing Fluency in Math, by
Sheri Disbrow. Dandy Lion Publications. The reproducible exercises in
these books provide daily practice in various areas of math. Each page contains
ten problems which review and reinforce concepts in number sense, math
reasoning, computation, time, money, measurement, geometry, probability,
graphing, fractions, and decimals. Books were developed around
national, Ohio, California, and Texas content standards and objectives for each
grade level. The introduction to each book explains which standards are
addressed in that book. The books are intended to supplement any basal text.
Books gradually increase in difficulty as they review and offer extra practice
in concepts already taught. Teachers, parents, and administrators can use these
books to diagnose weak areas, evaluate progress, and help prepare students
for standardized tests. The books are motivating, easy to grade, help build
critical thinking and problem solving skills, present some multi-step problems,
provide practice with analogies, support any curriculum, address all objectives
in each five-day period, and help prevent holes in learning. Each book has 70
practice pages. Answers are included.
