Basic Facts Practice

From the Maths Coach's Corner 

The debate rages over whether or not students should "memorize" their facts. 
We should really be discussing automaticity or fluency, not memorization. 

It is important that there is an understanding of the concepts behind math facts, rather than rote memorization. 

The fact is that students who are not fluent with the basic math facts are at a huge disadvantage with most other aspects of math.

So, LEARN the basic facts first. 

Then here are some practice websites to develop fluency.

Word Clouds

Use this Word Cloud website to create your own list of memories from camp.
Tips: if you want to join two words together, use the ~ symbol next to the 1. 
Eg. Bridge~Valley
If you want a word to be bigger than others, write it several times.
Eg. I typed sunshine three times in the example below.

Tutu with the options at the top of the screen to change colour, font, shape, layout. 
Upload it to your blog by using the 'File' button to save it as a jpeg.
