For 4th grade, the standard for fact fluency in the Biloxi Public School District is 15 correct
facts per minute when the assessment is in written form. Facts should be taught in an
interrelated way which emphasizes the connection between multiplication and division.
Because division facts are more difficult for students to master, teachers should not wait until
students master multiplication facts before beginning to work on division facts. Students will
automatize multiplication and division facts 0-12.
Each test will be timed. The results are interpreted as follows:
Number of Multiplication Facts 0 12 Correct in 4 minutes
60 or more
50 - 59
40 - 49
39 or less
Number of Division Facts 0 – 12
Correct in 4 minutes
