I absolutely love this. I am a former teacher using this to reinforce this with my own children. This is so so great thank you for sharing.

The sundae party should be outlawed. It ruined my daughter for math. She’s graduating high school this year, and she still remembers the anxiety of those timed tables and how she only earned vanilla ice cream. There was even a bulletin board with a buildable sundae for each child. So the entire class could see who wasn’t getting the toppings. Awful! She knew the facts, but she just couldn’t do it quickly. From then on, she said she couldn’t do math. There are better ways to teach kids math that don’t alienate some children. My sister is a math content specialist/consultant, and she highly discourages techniques like this (she even at one time believe she wasn’t a “math person.”) She inspired my daughter to write her dual credit English research paper on The Myth of the “Math Person”
The topic is incredibly fascinating, and my daughter finally realized she could still be a math person, after all. Her 3rd-grade math teacher meant well, but this teaching method was very damaging. https://www.youcubed.org/dispelling-myths-about-mathematics/

I love your blog! Thank you for sharing your awesome resources!! I haven’t taught math in several years and this year I have moved to a new school where I will be self-contained. Your resources for teaching multiplication will be a huge help to me. I know the kids will LOVE the sundae party!!

Hi there!
I love your resources! I was wondering if you have a version that I can edit. I am looking at creating addition, subtraction, and division for all elementary grades. Our teachers want to use fluency across grade levels!

In reply to Jennifer Boylan. I look at the percent they have mastered, rather than a particular set of facts now.

In reply to Ashleigh. Hi, I am familiar with XtraMath but seem to be missing how you use it for time test. I have gone into custom. Is there a way to set it so the kids do one fact at a time or how do you decide that they passed each fact? By the way I a huge fan of your blog.
