This is a series of 36 timed tests of 60 four function fact questions: 15 addition, 15 subtraction, 15 multiplication, 15 division. Each test addresses up to 5 fact ‘families.’ Each fact family will follow four patterns: (+, +), (+, -), (-, +), (-, -). The fact families used vary in difficulty for each test. In my experience, this opening activity begins the class session with focus and allows for friendly competition between and among peers, increasing student buy-in.
