Basic Facts Drill Books

Description

Practice basic math facts with these easy-to-use, reproducible drill books. Spiral-bound for easy copying, there are over 100 pages (just one of each drill) in each book. Addition and subtraction offer practice with single digits for addition and corresponding subtraction problems. Multiplication and division covers up through 12 x 12 and corresponding division practice. Students progress through fact practice in a sequential manner and drill pages vary in length from about 50 problems to about 90 problems. Drill pages emphasize different fact families (as seen in the table of contents), so there will be 2 problems of each fact in that family and only one problem for each of the other facts practiced. At the top of each drill, there are blank lines for the student's name, date, the time it takes to do the drill, and the number correct. A suggested time chart is listed in the front of the book for parents and/or teachers to use as a measuring tool for mastery of the facts. The back of the book has several pages of black and white clip art pictures that you can use if copying these for a group. There are no answer keys for either of these books. These remind me a little bit of the older printed Calculadders; you can drill as many times as you want over each page, they cover sets of facts, and you compete against your own time to improve math facts. Math facts don't change, and these books can be used over and over for your family, co-op, or class. 135-140 pgs. ~ Donna
