Reflex Math

For part of math today Mr. Sosa had his third grade students work on their math facts using Reflex Math. Reflex math was a program Mr. Sosa wrote a grant for at the beginning of the year and was awarded. It focuses solely on math fact fluency. Students design an avatar and earn points for avatar swag by playing fun and interactive games that use only their basic facts. As they master facts to fluency those facts will come up in the games less frequently allowing the facts that the student struggles with to be practice more often. The game has a carnival like atmosphere, which Mr. Sosa finds the kids really enjoy. There are also coaches embedded through out the game to help teach strategies and mini-lessons to allow student success in fact mastery.
