Educational applications and automaticity/math fluency

In the prior blog, I talked about the importance to find the right educational applications. There are so many applications available, but this blog will talk specifically about fluency in math. Fluency is the fast, accurate, and effortless process of content information. Some useful educational apps to have are FASTT Math,  Timez Attack, The ArithmAttack, and Arcademic Skill Builder. 

FASTT Math is a program designed to help students with math fact fluency. It assesses students on basic facts by measuring response time and based on each individual student's time they will be given a customized activity. Here is a video of a student using and explaining FASTT Math

Timez Attack is a program that focuses on the multiplication table only (2 to 12 times table). Here is a video that explains how to use Timez Attack.


The ArithmAttack is a program helps students practice basic math skills such as addition, multiplication, ratios, fractions, and many more things. This program customizes problems and can be downloaded right on to the computer. Here is an example of a teacher talking about ArithmAttack and all it's benefits.

Arcademic Skill Builder is a program designed to help fluency in subtraction, division, integers, and so much more. This game can be played with more than one person or solo. Here is an example of a student using the program.
