Free Websites to Assess Fact Fluency

October 29, 2017 By Mercedes Hutchens Leave a Comment

Fact fluency is an essential background skill in math.

Have you ever tried to teach students to add fractions with unlike denominators who don’t know how to multiply? Have you experienced the tedious nature of teaching students who still count on their fingers to add four digit numbers using multiple strategies?  So much emphasis in math is placed on having a deeper understanding, but the reality is, those deeper conversations are so much easier to have with students who have basic fact fluency.

Do My Students Need Help with Fact Fluency?

As an intervention teacher, I am like a detective when given a new group of kids.  I usually have two weeks to help them master a specific grade level standard.  Most kids who come to me, though, struggle with grade level skills because they struggle with the background skill.  The first thing I ask myself is, “What are the background skills they need to be successful with this standard?”

If I have a group of kids that need work with dividing decimals, rather than start with a lesson on dividing decimals, I take a bit of time to quickly assess for basic multiplication or division facts and for subtraction with regrouping. My paper pretest would have four problems.  Two dividing decimal problems and two subtraction with regrouping problems (one with regrouping over zeros).  Then we’d take a digital fact fluency assessment.

I love digital fact fluency assessments because they are quick, fun, and I don’t have to grade them.

Free Websites with Fact Fluency Screeners

There are several options for screening for fact fluency.  Here are three that are easy to use:

Quizizz

Quizizz: Quizizz is a website that gives multiple choice tests on anything you choose.

The kids love that they get a meme after each question.  It has different memes for correct or incorrect answers and I find that the humor takes the sting out of making a mistake.  They also award kids by telling them when they’ve gotten three in a row.

Quizizz has the option of a leaderboard which can be turned on or off.  Many of my students love the leaderboard and work hard to beat their classmates in speed and correct answers.  Some students don’t like the public nature of the leaderboards so I’ll turn it off if I know that to be the case for some kids in the room.  Quizizz can be assigned with a 6 digit code or through Google Classroom.  With Google Classroom, the students get a pdf with their results so they can see which questions they got correct.

There are quizzes for specific facts and quizzes up through specific facts so the kids will have to continue to remember previously studied facts.

Students find out after the quiz which question they got right.  When a quiz is done, students can see how long it took them and a percentage.

XtraMath is designed to be used daily.  Students work at their own pace and it tells them when a lesson is done.

The benefit of using Xtra Math is that once the students complete the placement quiz, it helps them practice the facts that they need to learn.  This website was helpful to me when I had only a couple computers in my room.  Kids would take turns going to the computers.

Personally, I usually use Quizizz.  I love the integration with Google Classroom and the enthusiasm my students show when I say we are going to use Quizizz.  The kids see it as a fun activity rather than a quiz or test, and I get scores and spreadsheets with specific data to help me guide instruction.

Improving Fact Fluency

Once students have taken fact fluency screeners, we set clear goals.  For my class, 90% or higher is considered fluent.  So, for example, if a student gets a 75% on a mixed multiplication fluency test, the student would take individual fluency tests for 2s, 3s, etc.  If a student gets less than 90%, that becomes the students goal.  They work on assignments in Google Classroom and play math games to help them practice.  When they feel ready, they try the assessment again.

I created a system like this for addition, subtraction, and multiplication.  Each one is broken into smaller goals and has links to fact fluency Quizizz for each level.
