Learn the Facts Before you Practice Them

If students do not know the correct answer to a math fact, drill games are useless. It is important to learn the CORRECT answer to a math fact first before trying a drill game.

These games can help when stuck in a particular set of addition facts. You choose the fact (perhaps +3 or +6) to practice, one at a time. There is more than one answer to choose from in the problem given, so that you can see if you get the correct answer.

If you are REALLY looking for a good challenge, you can try multiplication games as well:



Good luck!
