Math Facts are the building blocks to success!
Many students that I have run into over the years have lost the basic building blocks of math, which are the quick math facts.
I often say this is like basketball; you must first know how to dribble and pass before you can play in a game.
You must know your basic math facts before moving on to more difficult math topics.
Algebraic understanding will come much easier if you are less worried about multiplying 8 x 7 or subtracting (-5) - 2.
You must have the basics before moving on!
With all memorization comes practice. You will pick up these facts the quickest if you practice your math facts for 10-15 minutes each night.
Focus on one area each night, do not skip around between addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and integers.
