Fact Fluency
Daily math fact practice will help you achieve your goal of 100% fluency at your grade level. Grade level fluency expectations are as follows:
- Grade 3: *Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division or properties of operations. By the end of grade 3, know from memory all products of two single-digit numbers and related division facts.
- Grade 4: Know multiplication facts and related division facts through 12x12.
- Grade 5: *Fluently multiply multi-digit whole number.(Include two digit x four digit numbers and, three-digit x three-digit numbers) using the standard algorithm.
*Principles and Standards for School Mathematics states,“Computational fluency refers to having efficient and accurate methods for computing. Students exhibit computational fluency when they demonstrate flexibility in the computational methods they choose,understand and can explain these methods, and produce accurate answers efficiently.
