Learning the mathematical processes and meaning of mathematical operations should be at the forefront of our teaching. We must stress accuracy, not speed. If we want to raise a generation of mathematicians who may be going in to a field of science, I want that person to be concerned with his/her accuracy in figuring out a cure for cancer.....not who gets to the finish line first. But,to those who feel the need for speed, this site is good for you.

These are going to be TOTALLY helpful in supplementing my son's school's Rocket Math program. I've toyed with the idea of erasing the ones that come home to have him practice with or make them myself but, never got motivated to do that. THANKS for all your work and providing this to other parents! Despite being above grade level in math .... timed work is stressful for my son and he is below what they want him to be with Rocket Math .... so, hopefully the practice at home will alleviate his anxiety at school.

My students do not get all out of sorts because they know that they have several practice sheets to work on before they take the timed tests (which I don't believe in, but the district does). Thanks! I love your stuff! Dad, I find your spaceship math wonderful precursor to the rocket math.

My older two children did this rocket math and now my third is on it six years later. With my first two it was a true struggle because there were no practice sheets sent home to work on and help them. With your website my third daughter will have the chance to hopefully not struggle as much with this math program.It is also great that she can time herself because she seems to get into that.Thank you so much.

It is also great that she can time herself because she seems to get into that.

Thank you so much.
