Placement assessment – 30 minutes Determine baseline fluency 2 parts – typing and facts assessment Lesson – 15 mins Minimum of 3x per week Fastt Math
FASTT Math The placement assessment determines which facts are “Fast Facts” (the ones which your child can respond to correctly in less than a second) and which are “Study Facts” (ones he or she responds to slowly, or incorrectly).
Over time, the program will provide instruction and practice to help your child systematically learn all the facts in the Fact Grid. It will provide students with extra practice on small groups of facts (Focus Facts) to help students develop the ability to recall those facts quickly from memory.
