Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Morano, Stephanie; Randolph, Kathleen; Markelz, Andrew M.; Church, Naomi – TEACHING Exceptional Children, 2020
Math fact fluency involves the quick, accurate retrieval of basic arithmetic combinations and the ability to use this fact knowledge efficiently. Math fact retrieval is typically considered fluent when performed accurately within 2 to 3 seconds, and "efficiency" refers to students' ability to apply fact knowledge to more complex…
