Q: What do teachers do with MathFacts in a Flash?

A: Teachers use MathFacts in a Flash to determine which students have mastered their math facts, and which ones may need some extra support.

Q: What does MathFacts in a Flash do for my child?

A: Your child will practice timed tests at the right level for them to learn math facts. Then, they will immediately see feedback about their timing and accuracy.
