Practising for speed, not just accuracy

Most students who struggle on timed tests can already do the arithmetic — they run out of time because each fact is being worked out rather than recalled. That is a different problem from not knowing the math, and it needs a different fix: short timed retrieval practice, which is uncomfortable at first and is exactly what makes it effective.

Third grade has all four operations available at small numbers, which makes random mixed practice possible for the first time. The useful difficulty is choosing: deciding what a question asks before answering it. Word problems fail here not on arithmetic but on picking an operation from a keyword rather than from the situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I run out of time on math tests?
Usually because basic facts are being reconstructed rather than recalled. Every three-second fact inside a longer problem costs you time and attention. Timed drilling of the facts themselves is what closes that gap.
Is mixed practice better than practising one operation at a time?
Both have a use. Practising one operation builds the facts; mixing them builds the habit of reading the problem before answering, which is what breaks down in word problems and on tests. Use single-operation practice to fix a gap and mixed practice to keep it.
