Reflex!

"Students will demonstrate fluency of multiplication and related division facts with ease"...................that is one of our benchmarks this year in mathematics. This means that students can recall, with automaticity, answers to basic multiplication and division facts (0-12).

The exciting news is that Reflex Math is here- an engaging, online resource tool for our students that builds this fluency in fun, engaging ways. All Culinary Court students already have an account set up- all they have to do is log-on and let the fluency building begin!

After designing their own personal "Avatar" (mini-me), they will participate in a fluency typing test, receive a math mini-lesson, and then engage in timed, fluency building practice with their multiplication and/or division facts. This online program scaffolds to each individual child's needs, offering re-teaching and additional practice with facts often missed by your child until mastery is achieved. This program also offers reward incentives, as students earn coins and points which can be redeemed in the "store" for Avatar "flair"- new hats, sunglasses, jackets, and other cool stuff to keep them motivated. Best of all, your child's teacher can track your child's progress and run reports on how they are progressing.

It is recommended that students participate in Reflex Math fluency building 3-4 times each week. Each session lasts approximately 15-20 minutes. Our students will be logging in and participating in Reflex learning activities while at school, but it would also be helpful if they could spend time learning from this valuable resource at home too.

Students, if you log on to Reflex for at least 20 minutes while at home (evenings, weekends, or holidays), leave a comment and let your math teachers know- your voluntary time spent using this resource will earn you some extra Behavior Bucks (and build your fluency all at the same time)!

Happy Fluency Building!!
