These tests have a component that tests how fast a child can write numerals.\u00a0 Then when you have them write answers to math fact problems you are able compare their answering speed with their writing speed. The directions for each of these tests is located before the test.\u00a0 There is a different test for each operation.\u00a0 Children should learn the operations in order (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division).\u00a0 If a child needs to start with addition facts, there is no need to test the other operations. NOTE: There is an exception: If a child is in 4th grade or above, multiplication facts (which can\u2019t be counted on fingers) have priority.\u00a0 Fluency with multiplication facts is SO indispensible to further math computation, fractions, and pre-algebra that you can\u2019t wait until they have mastered addition and subtraction.\u00a0 Go back for those skills later.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocketmath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Free_Addition_Facts_assessment__2_1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Addition facts 15-second fluency test<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocketmath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Free_Subtraction_Facts_assessment1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Subtraction facts 15-second fluency test<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocketmath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Free_Multiplication_Facts_assessment1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Multiplication facts 15 second fluency test<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocketmath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Free_Division_Facts_assessment1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Division facts 15-second fluency test<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>PARENTS: These tests are a free and easy way to see if your child would benefit from practicing math facts at home using Rocket Math specially sequenced worksheets or flashcards.<\/p>\n<p>TEACHERS: The 15-second tests above are a quick way to see if your students would benefit from participating in the Rocket Math facts curriculum\u2013before you purchase it. However, to monitor student progress and get more reliable scores I recommend one-minute timings.\u00a0 First test how fast students can write, then give them a one-minute timing.\u00a0 They should be able to answer as many problems in one minute as they can fill boxes in the one minute writing speed test.\u00a0 The one-minute tests can be found under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocketmath.com\/pre-tests\/\">Pre-Tests<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Free Math Fluency Tests Why are students frustrated by math?\u00a0 Because they don\u2019t know the basic facts.\u00a0 In order to do math easily, students need to be able to write the answers to math facts instantly, without hesitation\u2014basically as fast as they can write.
