Fact fluency still matters, but timed tests often do more harm than good, despite the teacher’s best intentions. Instead of resulting in the development of mathematical fluency for students, timed tests usually result in student anxiety. It’s time for educators to give timed tests a time out. But, what do teachers do as an alternative? Time’s Up on Timed Tests is designed to be a resource for teachers to use with their students that will develop fluency with math facts.

time's upThis book provides teachers with a wealth of practical ways to teach students the facts, helps them understand the facts, and gives them strategies to become fluent with their grade level’s fact fluency expectations. Focusing on addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, Time’s Up on Timed Tests provides practical strategies for purposeful practice and reproducible games and activities to use in the classroom.
