Automaticity is also referred to as math fact fluency which is the fast, accurate, and effortless processing of content information. There is a plethora of educational applications which students can used to build autommaticity and math fact fluency which I will list and go into further detail below.
FASST Math helps students gain math fact fluency by evaluating students' command of basic facts by measuring response time and creating individualized activities based off the results. Students' advance to next activities to strengthen memorization of facts. Teachers can monitor students' progress and make changes if need be.
Timez Attack is only for multiplication, and moves from the 2 to 12 times tables. This app provides students with a video game type environment with high quality graphics that makes it a more appealing program to students'.
Arcademic Skill Builder provides games to assist in developing automaticity in addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, integers, fractions, and ratios. Users can set custom number ranges to provide targeted practice on specific areas of need.
Timez attack is an app I will be using with my students because it looks fun and I believe the video game type format is perfect for motivating and engaging them.
