This week marked a change for the children with their math facts.  After lots of practice, they moved on from 20 problems in 5 minutes and are now working toward accurately completing 50 problems in 10 minutes.  Some children were nervous before they tried in and most were pleasantly surprised by how much they have grown.  Many were excited and felt ready for a new challenge.  Everyone agreed that the task was easier than they expected.

Here are some sites for practice with addition:
