Reflex math Research quotes and tips (from the website!)
Math fact fluency is the quick and effortless (automatic)
recall of basic math facts. When students achieve automaticity with these
facts, they have attained a level of mastery that enables them to retrieve them from long-term memory without conscious effort or attention.
The
Reflex system combines research-proven methods and innovative technology to
provide the most effective math fact fluency solution available.
A few of
the facts behind Reflex’s success:
1.
The system is based on
a fact family approach that builds on and reinforces important mathematical
concepts such as the commutative property and the relationship between the
operations. When students understand the conceptual connections between facts,
their progress to automaticity is accelerated.
2.
Reflex is highly
adaptive and individualized so that students of all ability levels have early
and ongoing success. In addition, the system consistently rewards students for
both their effort and progress toward automaticity. They come to understand
that if they are willing to put in the work, they really can succeed in math.
3.
Reflex fluency
development games are different. Unlike typical math fact games, they require
students to engage in increasingly complex and fast-paced decision making. Once
students have developed the ability to fluently answer math facts while
simultaneously achieving game objectives, you can be confident that they will
be able to do the same while learning new math concepts and procedures in your
classroom.
4.
Reflex is continually
improving based on detailed analysis of student response patterns. Hundreds of
thousands of students have become fluent with tens of millions of new facts and
Explore Learning's researchers continuously comb that data to uncover
opportunities to further optimize the system. Today's Reflex is more effective
than yesterday's, and tomorrow's will be better still.
‘The kids are making tremendous, measurable progress while they are enhancing their fluency. However, not only are their skills increasing, but also their self-esteem!!! They are SO PROUD of what they are doing with Reflex Math”
“As a math specialist, I saw the excitement as
students engaged in answering math facts with more confidence than they had
just weeks ago!”
