Initial trials of worksheet subscription universal level for 1 person for 60 days

only 1s-9s add,subtract,multi,div

all programs including Basic

With everyone’s initial order of Wall Charts we send 4 sheets of star stickers (over 750) for each Wall Chart ordered. But what if your school has somehow run out of star stickers for the Rocket Math Wall Charts? Order Item #2007 and we will send you 40 additional sheets of star stickers–over 7,500 stickers.

We include 4 removable, and reusable Goal Arrows with each Wall Chart. These stick to the Wall Chart to set motivating goals for your students. If your school needs Goal Arrows or additional Goal Arrows, here’s how to get them. Order Item 2008 and we will send you 48 additional arrows–enough for 16 teachers.

The Add to 20 Learning Track is one of 26 included in a Universal Level subscription, which is available to try for 60 days. 

These are the rest of the Addition facts that the Common Core suggests that students be able to compute mentally such as 11 + 7, 4 + 13, and 16 + 3. These obviously build on the basic single digit facts such as 1 + 7, 4 + 3, and 6 + 3. Students should find these fairly easy to master but they still need some practice to commit them to memory. LOOK OUT! Because all the answers are two digits, the number of problems students can be expected to answer will go down!  You must give the special Add to 20 Writing Speed Test to set new lower goals for your students.  To the left you can see the sequence of facts that will be learned in the Add to 20 program.  Otherwise the program is exactly the same as the basic Addition Rocket Math program and uses the same forms–that can be found in the forms and information drawer.

The Addition 1s-9s Learning Track is one of the 4 included in the Basic Level subscription.

These are the basic single digit Addition facts 1s through 9s. Each of the 26 levels, A through Z, introduces two facts and their reverses.  You can see in the picture above of Set B, I have outlined the new facts in red.

Students practice orally with a partner. They read and answer the facts going around the outside of the sheet.  The partner has the answer key.  Then the two students switch roles.  After practice everyone takes a one minute test on the facts in the box.  The test includes only the facts learned up to this level.  Each student has individual goals based on writing speed.  Students cannot pass a level if there are any errors.   Give the special Writing Speed Test to set individual goals for your students.

Students should be able to pass a level in a week, if they practice the right way.   Below you can see the sequence of facts that will be learned in the Addition 1s-9s program.  The program uses the four forms–that can be found in the forms and information drawer.

The most succinct way to be introduced to this program is this 8 minute video.

The Beginning Numerals Learning Track is one of 26  included in the Universal Level Worksheet program subscription, which is available to try for 60 days.

This is a beginning program for kindergarten students.  You are teaching them to count objects aloud and then match the word with the numeral.

Each worksheet begins with a demonstration of counting objects and circling the numeral that matches.  On Worksheet A there are two and three only to learn.  The teacher demonstrates (best with a document camera so all students can see) how she counts the objects and then points out that the answer is circled.

In the “You do” portion of the worksheet after learning the numerals with the teacher, the students are asked to count the items in each box and circle the correct number.  They are not asked to form the numerals–that’s numeral writing skill.  They just identify the numeral and circle it. Besides cute items there are also dice to count, fingers to count and hash marks to count–so students can learn multiple ways of keeping track of numbers.

Passing a level requires 100% accuracy.  Students who make any errors should be worked with until they can complete the worksheet independently and get all the items correct.

This will build strong beginning math skills for kindergarteners learning the meaning of numerals.  Combined with Rocket Writing for Numerals it will set students up for success in elementary math.

In the “We do” portion of the worksheet the teacher counts the stars first as a demo and then with the students.  Worksheet A you all just count 3 stars.   By Worksheet S the teacher and the students are  counting 12 stars together.

Conceptual Addition

Conceptual Addition is a beginning program for kindergarten students. It comes after they finish “Beginning Numerals.” You are teaching them the concept of addition.  They should also know how to write the numerals to 20 by memory or from dictation before starting.  We recommend using our “Rocket Writing for Numerals” to teach numeral writing.

This is teacher-led instruction, rather than peer practice.  Each worksheet begins with an “I Do” portion that is a teacher modeled demonstration. That is followed by a “We Do” portion where the teacher leads the students in doing the problems together.  The last portion is called “You Do” which students should be able to do independently following the teacher modeling and leading on several items.

For the first four worksheets you count all the objects in two groups to find the sum. When modeling slash the objects with a pencil as you count.  Teach the children to do the same.  The answer keys show the objects slashed.

“I can do this problem. I can add the butterflies by counting ALL the butterfiles.
Watch me slash and count ALL the butterflies. [Slash while counting.]
One, two, three. There are three butterflies in all. One butterfly plus two butterflies equals three butterflies.
So they wrote three in the box. Touch here where the three is written as the answer. Good.
One butterfly plus two butterflies is how many butterflies, everybody? __________ Yes, three butterflies.
Now watch me do the next box.”

Starting in Set E you get the larger of the two numbers “going” and then slash and “count on” from there.

“I can do this problem. I can add two chicks plus four by counting on from four. Watch me get four going and
then slash and count the two chicks. F-f-o-o-u-u-r-r, [Slash while counting.] five, six. Four plus two equals six.
So they wrote six in the box. Touch here where the six is written as the answer. Good.
Two plus four is how many, everybody? __________ Yes, six.
Now watch me do the next box.”

In each worksheet, the students are asked to add the number and the items in each box and write the correct number. The teacher models and students are required to count by slashing the items shown.  Slashing ensures the count is correct. Besides cute items there are also dice to count, fingers to count and hash marks to count–so students can learn multiple ways of keeping track of numbers.

Passing a level requires 100% accuracy.  Students who make any errors should be worked with until they can complete the worksheet independently and get all the items correct.

This will prepare kindergarteners for learning the concept of addition.  Combined with Rocket Writing for Numerals it will set students up for success in elementary math.

The Division (1s-9s) Learning Track is one of four included in the Basic Level Worksheet Program subscription.

These are the basic single digit Division facts 1s through 9s. Each of the 26 levels, A through Z, introduces two facts and their reverses.  You can see in the picture above of Set D, I have outlined the new facts in red.

Students practice orally with a partner, reading and answering the facts going around the outside of the sheet.  The partner has the answer key.  Then the two students switch roles.  After practice everyone takes a one minute test on the facts in the box–which are only the facts learned up to this level.  Each student has individual goals based on writing speed, but no one can pass a level if there are any errors.   You must give the special Writing Speed Test to set individual goals for your students.

Students should be able to pass a level in a week, if they practice the right way.   Below you can see the sequence of facts that will be learned in the Division 1s-9s program.  The program uses the four forms–that can be found in the forms and information drawer.

The Identifying Fractions Learning Track is one of 26 included in a Universal Level Worksheet program subscription, which is available to try for 60 days.

Identifying Fractions is a Learning Track to ensure that students have a firm and correct understanding of fractions.  This will prepare them well for all subsequent work in fractions.  They will learn the essential rule about what the numerator and denominator mean, although they won’t be working with those terms.  They just learn through examples, practiced over and over.

The number on the top tells how many parts are shaded.  The number on the bottom indicates the number of parts in a whole.  If a whole is not divided into parts, it is a whole number.

Right from the beginning of Set A students will encounter improper fractions and mixed numbers.  They will see examples of every fraction first at the top of the page before they are asked to identify it on their own. You see that students see the fraction, see the words for how we say it and they see the fraction they are to write.

Unlike other Rocket Math programs, the test and the practice items are the same.  Of course the students have a page without the answers, while their partner holds the answer key. Students practice by saying aloud to their partner the fractions shown in the test.  Then they take the test on those same items, but write the answer.

The fractions that students become familiar with include, halves, thirds, quarters, fifths, sixths, eighths, tenths and twelfths.  They see improper fractions and mixed number with every denominator.  In the beginning with the smaller denominators students see a variety of shapes for each denominator, so they learn that the identity of a fraction only has to do with the number of parts in a whole, not the shape of the display.  You can see thirds as cubes and as circles and as rectangles in the examples to the right.

When students are eventually introduced to eighths, tenths and twelfths we don’t want to slow them down by having to laboriously count the number of parts in each figure.  So the eighths are always displayed as two sets of four rectangles on top of each other.  Tenths are displayed as two columns of five blocks with little numbers in them.  Twelfths are always displayed as three sets of four rectangles on each other.  Students should notice these conventions so they can quickly identify the number of parts in those figures without having to count them.

Identifying fractions has its own writing speed test, to be sure that student goals are individualized to their writing speed.  By the time students complete Set Z in this program they will have a strong understanding of fractions that will be fluent.  There are even 2-minute timings you can give every week or two for them to chart their progress as they get faster.  This is a great program for students of any grade from second grade on up who have finished the basics for their grade level.  It will really put them in good shape when dealing with fractions in later years.

This “Multiplication-Division-Fact-Families-from-21” Learning Track is one of 26 included in a Universal Level Worksheet program subscription, which is available to try for 60 days. 

Fact Families are another way to learn multiplication and division facts, or to review them once learned. 7 x 3, 3 x 7, 21 ÷ 7, and 21 ÷ 3 make up such a family.  Fact families are divided into two Learning Tracks.  This Learning Track is the second one, which goes on from 21 with 7 x 3 = 21 and larger facts.

Students practice orally with a partner, reading and answering the facts going around the outside of the sheet.  The partner has the answer key.  Then the two students switch roles.  After practice everyone takes a one minute test on the facts in the box–which are only the facts learned up to this level.  Each student has individual goals based on writing speed, but no one can pass a level if there are any errors.   You must give the special Writing Speed Test to set individual goals for your students.

Students should be able to pass a level in a week, if they practice the right way.   Above you can see the sequence of facts that will be learned in the Mult & Division Fact Families from 21 program.  The program uses the four forms–that can be found in the forms and information drawer.

The most succinct way to be introduced to this program is this 8 minute video.
