Math fact crisis: strategies for improving numeracy with Brian Poncy (Ep 29)
Chalk & Talk
Implementing Daily Math Fact Practice in Schools. 4 Minutes Per Day = 10 Hours Per Year.
Implementing daily math fact practice for four minutes a day in schools can lead to significant academic growth. By assessing each student and focusing on skills within their instructional range, students can improve without the stress of time tests. The consistent four-minute daily practice over 150 days a year amounts to 10 hours of instruction annually. Using state test scores as outcome data, the implementation showed no immediate impact but resulted in substantial growth over time. By the fourth year, the school implementing daily math fact practice saw students performing as well as the highest-performing school in the district, outperforming other schools, including those with higher socioeconomic status. The growth in state test scores was substantial, with a 48-point difference observed compared to other schools. This highlights the effectiveness of consistent daily math fact practice in improving academic performance over time.
