Basic Facts.....Hands on, practical and fun!

Every week, the students of The Hub all get to participate in basic facts testing and activities that are tailored specifically to meet individual learning needs.

Basic facts is fun because the teachers are very supportive to all of us. We get some time before and after our tests to choose between a wide variety of various hands on math activities, challenges and games (both physical and digital) that use basic facts to test and progress our mathematical knowledge and confidence.

When it is our turn to take our test, our teacher usually calls us up in small groups of two or three people that have roughly the same level of mathematical knowledge and gives us three to five seconds to write it down in our basic facts notebook. After we find the total of our score out of ten, we get helpful feedback from the teachers and know what to practice for next time.

As we build our confidence, skills and knowledge through the wide range of activities we progress through the steps and make our way through the mathematical stages.

During basic facts we support each other's learning and celebrate our successes!
