What teachers like you have said about these fact fluency games...
♥ I love that this game can be differentiated for students at all levels. As a k-2 special education teacher this is key. I can use this with my first graders and my second graders! Thanks!

♥ We used these for a family math game night. The parents and students enjoyed playing the game. Just know you get a lot of cards!

♥ LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! Can't say that enough about this and now that I've moved grades I will be purchasing the multiplication set!!

♥ Fun, fun and fun! Children love this game and don’t even realize they are practicing their facts. Thank you.

♥ I can't tell you how much my students are enjoying these games! It took a lot of work to set up (I laminated the pages for extra durability) but it has been totally worth it!

♥ My students LOVE LOVE LOVE this game! I teach second grade and use it for a fact practice buddy game. They have so much fun with it! It took a lot of time to print and cut, but it was worth it! I did have to go back to underline the 6s and 9s so students know which is which. Thank you for the great game!!

♥ This is such a fun way to practice! Love the game format, and so did the kids.
