[quote=Anonymous]Facts are something the children pick up with strategies as they do other lessons. They don't do fact drills anymore. In first and second in our school, kids get an xtramath account and do drills at home. I set one up for my kindergartner (she was interested because her older brother was doing it) and she is picking up the facts slowly and likes to see her "squares turn green". She can't type the number fast enough though (you need to beat the timer) so she likes when I type and she shouts out the number. They expect addition and subtraction in 1st and 2nd and then learn multiplication and division in 3rd and 4th. If you expect your child to be in compacted in 4/5, then I would suggest speeding that along. So they teach facts by learning strategies to do the problems. They don't do drills or tests in class that I remember so you may want to do this at home. [/quote]
