  2. Goal: Develop Math Fact Fluency The FASTT Math intervention program: • Helps all students achieve math fact fluency. • Assesses all students to uncover fluency gaps and to establish a baseline of fluency for each student. • Differentiates instruction in customized, 10-minute daily sessions. • Helps all your students build the confidence in mathematics they need to succeed. • Covers basic 0-9 and 0-12 addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts

  3. Program Components Student Materials FASTT Math Software Practice Sheets Teacher Resources Teachers’ Guide Fact Fluency Foundation Guide SAM

  4. The FASTTMath Model 1. Placement Assessment • FASTT Math begins with a computer-based assessment that presents all the basic facts in an operation. • Determines the facts that are being recalled from memory and those that are solved using a counting strategy. • After the initial assessment, a Fact Grid (shown) displays the fluent (fast facts) and the (study facts ).

  5. The FASTT Math Model 2. Adaptive Instruction • FASTT Math adapts daily instruction sessions that focus on the student’s problem facts or study facts. • Facts are presented in a visual array to strengthen a memory connection to the facts.

  6. The FASTTMath Model 3. Independent Practice • Provided only after a students is able to retrieve a fact within the controlled response time. • Student practice their learned and fluent facts with engaging and motivating games.

  7. The FASTTMath Model 4. Operation Mastery • Ensures all students build long-lasting fluency they will need to solve complex math problems. • Rewards students with a the Tracker Style Gallery.

  8. Using the Software After completing the initial Placement Assessment (first 1-2 days), the student will start his or her regular FASTT Math Lessons.

  9. Adaptive Instruction Fact Instruction Overview

  10. Periodic Assessments Fast Fact Challenges

  11. Independent Practice

  12. SAM (Scholastic Achievement Manager) • SAM is the learning management system for FASTT Math • SAM collects and organizes student performance data generated while using FASTT Math • Use SAM to: • Manage student rosters • Enroll students and assign them to operations • Generate reports for student performance data • Generate customized worksheets for each student • Provide updates on students’ program usage

  16. FASTT Math Reports • Student Reports • Student Fact Fluency • Student Lesson Status • Student Response to Intervention Report • Class, Grade, and Teacher Reports • Progress Report • Intervention Grouping Report • School and District Reports • Summary Progress Report • FASTT Math Implementation Report

  18. Who Should Use FASTT Math? Students who: • demonstrate poor computational performance • are receiving interventions in mathematics • are not fluent with some math facts

  19. Students in need of foundation instruction in number value and quantity Students who demonstrate speed and accuracy with all, or almost all, math facts 3 1 2 Students who need to improve both their accuracy and speed with math facts

  20. Fact Fluency Foundation Guide Provides intervention material to help assess and address students who lack: • Fact-linking strategies • Facility with number counting • Framework for number quantity

  21. Addressing Prerequisite Skills The placement assessment in the FASTT Math Software will alert teachers to which students need prerequisite work before they use FASTT Math Software to develop automaticity with their facts.

  22. Fact Fluency Foundations Guide This intervention can be done while the student continues with the software. These two interventions are usually completed as a precursor to using the FASTT Math Software.

  23. Interventions The interventions in the Fact Fluency Guide are designed to be used with individual students or small groups. • 20 to 30 minute sessions, 3-5 days per week

  24. Interventions Quantity Concepts Intervention • These students are not yet ready for the FASTT Math Software and need concept development. Counting Intervention • These students are likely to need the full set of intervention lessons. Fact-linking Intervention • These students can start this intervention, then begin using the FASTT Math Software

  25. Introducing FASTT Math to Students Have teachers give students a short introduction to the program: • why they are using the program • how it will help them • when and where they will be expected to use the software • how to play the games • what to do if they have trouble

  26. Expectations Instructional coaches will: • Train grades 2-5 teachers • Assist teachers in selection of students to take the Placement Assessment • Guide teachers on selecting those who need prerequisite skills and those who are ready to use the software (60 per campus in grades 2-5, and 6th grade) • Use SAM to enroll students, assign to classes and assign operations • Monitor use of FASTT Math program and work with teacher to analyze data reports

  27. Expectations Implement in the Classroom: • Create a rotational schedule for selected students to access FASTT Math during independent work time or as part of GUIDED MATH group rotations • Begin math instruction with a 10-15 minute fluency exercise for the whole group while selected students use FASTT Math on classroom computers

  28. Reflection • How do you see this software being used in the classrooms? • How will you monitor for effective use of the software?
