There were four educational applications that were mentioned to address automaticity and math fact fluency.
FASTT - stands for Fluency and Automaticity through systematic Teaching with Technology. This system measures the response time of the student can then can create customized activities based on that information - results based. This program helps the student to work on the memorization of facts. Teachers are able to monitor results and adjust the program as necessary to better suit the learners needs or goals.
Timez Attack - focuses on multiplication facts from 2 - 12. It is from the makers of Sony Playstation and the graphics and video game-like screens are enticing to many learners.
Arithm Attack - this program is used the practice all basic math in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. It also can be customized by the teacher . The teacher can set the high and low numbers in order to provide the greatest challenge or successes for the student.
Arcademic Skill Builder - also focuses on basic facts in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. This program can be made to have multi -players or single players. This can add to the competitive appeal for some learners. The program can be customized by adjusting the number range, speed of expected response and the way the answer can be selected - typing, mouse and arrow keys.
All of these programs would fit the bill for the beginning math learner. The game like quality of a few will reach the learner that loves to "game". It is also nice to have the "team" or multi-player option. The ability of other students to supply motivation for each other takes some of the pressure off the teacher. The teacher can create levels that will challenge and others that allow for greater success. This helps to create an activity that all students can be successful in, no matter their learning ability.
