Using "Big Brainz" to Cement Math Facts in Multiplication, Division, Addition and Subtraction

Big Brains is a computer game students have been utilizing since August to cement their math facts.  Students started out mastering multiplication.  While some have moved on to division, many students continue to work on multiplication.  The goal was to have the students first master multiplication, then move to division, and finally addition and subtraction.  The goal was to have the students finish as quickly as they could, then the rest of the year, math problems would be easier because of the knowledge gained through constant repetition. Students have been working hard to learn their multiplication facts.  Some students have mastered multiplication as planned, and have even moved on to division.  Some are working in addition.  One student has already mastered all four areas--multiplication, division, addition and subtraction facts--and has moved out of the class.  The goal is to have all the students participating in the programs master all four areas by December, which is when the program will end.  So, please ask your child if they are a participant in the Big Brainz program, and if they are--ask them what area they have mastered!  Encouragement is always welcomed!!
