Math Facts and Xtra Math
This year we will use Xtra Math, an online math facts app, to help your child master and quickly recall math facts.
- First graders will work on addition and subtraction to 10.
- Your child will receive a letter with log in information and directions.
XtraMath® helps students transition from counting or calculating the basic math facts to recalling them. Quickly recalling math facts, instead of calculating them, frees up mental resources for higher-level operations.
XtraMath’s timed activities encourage students to answer questions as quickly as possible. When combined with the spaced repetition of problems, this efficiently develops recall. The three-second threshold is carefully selected to be long enough to type in a recalled answer but not long enough for the student to comfortably enter a counted or calculated answer.
