Copies are available at http://cmegators.com Hammocks Middle School Vertical Planning Team ‐ Mathematics Multiplication Facts Improvement Plan ‐ 2nd Grade Purpose ‐ Lack of fluency in the basic math facts is directly responsible for poor performance in higher level math courses. Factoring, fractions, estimation, mental math, etc., are skills that are difficult/impossible without fluency in the basic math facts. The vertical math planning team suggests that each school feeding into and out of Hammocks Middle School implements a comprehensive and systematic system of daily drills in the basic skills drills beginning in 1st grade, and extending through high school. “Friday” drills can serve as a basis for documentation and remediation. Objective ‐ addition facts fluency, demonstrated by recall in 2 seconds or less. The Plan ‐ “Mad Minute” daily addition facts drills and related subtraction facts drills. Implementation ‐ Daily timed drills/quizzes at the beginning of each Mathematics block. Most quizzes are EXACTLY one minute long. Weeks #1 to #19 include a 2 minute quiz on Fridays. Teachers should be able to administer and grade daily quizzes in 3 minutes or less. Friday quizzes should take a roughly 5 minutes. Friday quizzes will document student progress and serve as a basis for remediation. Weekly “Mad Minutes” should be distributed on Fridays and collected the following Friday.
