Flash Masters for Math

Grant Description

Flash Masters are handheld computers used for mastering multiplication facts.  Flash Masters will be used in my pull-out Resource Math program so students can practice their math facts.  The Flash Masters can keep track of my students' progress.  This tool will help my students access the core curriculcum more successfully.  Since many of these students are below grade level, practicing and learning their math facts will help them be more prepared for high level math.  They will be using them daily for their warm-up activity in math.
