Rocket Math is a fun way to shoot for the stars by knowing your addition, subtraction, and multiplication facts! A core skill to build number sense through fact fluency. Students need to know basic facts as we build on that knowledge for multi-digit addition/subtraction, multiplication, and division concepts.
What is Rocket Math?
Rocket Math is a leveled, timed test given weekly to assess your child's mastery of basic addition, subtraction or multiplication facts. Students are individually assessed on his/her level. Once a student masters the basic facts on a particular level, completing the entire assessment correctly in a matter of minutes, he/she will move on to the next level. Rocket Math consists of 26 levels, A to Z, with building vigor as they master facts within 20.
How does it work?
- Every student has a personal rocket to track his/her progress.
- Students take a timed test at their level every Tuesday & Thursday.
- Once all problems are answered correctly your son/daughter advances to the next letter.
- The goal of Rocket Math is to beat your personal best and shoot as high as you can by the end of the school year.
How to help your child reach for the stars?
Rocket Math is a fun way to reinforce addition, subraction, or multiplication fluency while encouraging your child to meet personal goals. To help your son/daughter reach her highest potential, practice facts at home regularly. The only way to reach fact fluency is to memorize those facts! Pick up flashcards at the dollar store or the dollar spot at Target.
