Speed Drills for Arithmetic Facts
“.... The book’s strength is that it demonstrates a consistent pattern of instruction. Direct instruction is followed by oral practice and writing numerals and number words. The author discusses areas that might be difficult for students...and suggests how to practice to build fluency.... Teachers of primary and middle elementary grades will find this book useful for developing number concepts and the fluency that children need to build a strong sense of number.”
