Fact fluency can be stressful for students and teachers! For students, it can be stressful to memorize so many facts. For teachers, it can be stressful when students do not have strong fact fluency skills. However, since so many math skills involve fact fluency, they are so important for students to know! Therefore, creating engaging math activities for third grade is vital in order to help students learn their facts. I am here to help you ensure students master this skill!
Benefits of Fact Fluency
Due to the importance, there are many benefits of strong fact fluency skills. First, students will have a stronger understanding of math concepts. Since so much content is centered around fact fluency, students truly need to know their facts. Secondly, students will have less math anxiety. Since they will not be overwhelmed over not knowing facts, their minds will be open to new content. Third, students will be getting prepared for real life. There are so many times when math facts are used. From managing money to leaving a tip at a restaurant, math facts are constantly used.

Math Centers
In order to complete these engaging activities, a math center planner will be incredibly helpful. For example, a fact fluency center will be the perfect addition to weekly math centers! Students may rotate through different centers for review and new content. Specifically, math fact fluency may be a review center. Students may complete a Boom Card deck each time centers are used. By doing this, facts will always be fresh in their minds! Then, as students travel to the other centers, they can focus on the content. Therefore, students have their minds open and focused on learning new material. Be sure to check out Marneshia- Teach Chic for great resources to add to your math centers!
