Tracking Math Facts

Basic facts are essential to proficient math skills.  We like to give our students mad minute type fact sheets and we track their progress on a bulletin board. We use lots of different ways to keep it fun!  One of my favorites is the idea of using a speedometer to track how many facts the students can complete in a given time.  As the students become more proficient they simply move the needle on their speedometer.  Add a catchy title and you are all set!

Or how about this one that lets students color in the popcorn kernels as they master their addition facts?  It is very engaging and motivating for the students!
