Practice

Just like any skill, you need to practice to be good at it.

It is important to not try to master all the facts at the same time. Master a few facts at a time and then do a mixed practice at the end.

• Decide on which facts you want to practice.
• Practice those facts.
• Take a break.
• Repeat.

Then after you think you've mastered all the facts for an operation, then do a mixed practice game.

Here are three good sites for practicing the basic facts.

1. Multiplication.com - Use Interactive Games or "Self Correcting Quizzes" (online worksheets). These can be found at www.multiplication.com/resources.htm.
2. Math Trainer from mathsisfun.com - Select the operation and numbers you want to work on. Click GO and then type the answers. www.mathsisfun.com/numbers/math-trainer-multiply.html
3. www.aaastudy.com/add.htm , www.aaastudy.com/sub.htm , www.aaastudy.com/mul.htm , www.aaastudy.com/div.htm

Here is a video on

• Multiplication.com's interactive games (the self-correcting quizzes/online worksheets work just like the pre-test).
• Math Trainer from mathsisfun.com.
• Practicing with www.aaamath.com (which is equivalent to www.aaastudy.com).
