FASTT Math is a researched based math software intervention program that elementary students are using to develop their fluency with basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts. The program begins with students taking both a typing and basic facts assessment. Using the results of both of these assessments, FASTT Math sets up an individualized program that helps students develope automatic recall of basic facts. After the initial assessment, sessions usually last about 10 minutes and struggling students use the program three times a week. Each session begins by introducing a new set of focus facts that they will be working on in that sessions. Next students are given practice problems which include both their focus facts and fast facts. Fast facts are the basic facts that students already know. The porgram ends with students being able to choose one of six games to play. The games help to build speed as the students try to answer the problems before time runs out.
