Math Facts Mastery

How this app works

No weeks, no schedule β€” just mastery. Your student works on a small set of facts (3 by default). A fact is mastered after 3 correct answers in a row. The moment one fact is mastered, one new fact takes its place β€” master two today and two new ones appear. The student is never juggling more than the set size.

Facts come in teaching order, easiest patterns first (0s, 1s, 2s, doubles… for addition; 0s, 1s, 2s, 10s, 5s… for multiplication). Turned-around facts like 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 count as one fact.

Nothing is ever "done." Mastered facts quietly return for review. Miss one and it loses its checkmark and comes back into practice until it's re-mastered.

Miss a fact? The app shows the answer and the student types it correctly once before moving on.

Settings (βš™οΈ): adjust how many new facts are in play at once (fewer for a student who's overwhelmed, more for one who wants challenge) and turn on the fast-recall timer when accuracy is solid and you're building speed.

Fact Grid shows every fact and its status. Progress is the parent report.

πŸ”Š Read-aloud: every fact is read out loud automatically, and the small πŸ”Š button beside the problem repeats it. Turn it on or off in βš™οΈ Settings. The app uses the best voice on your device β€” on an iPad, downloading an "Enhanced" voice (Settings β†’ Accessibility β†’ Spoken Content β†’ Voices) makes it sound even more natural.

Settings

Read facts aloud
Each fact is read out loud, and the little πŸ”Š button repeats it.
Placement test
Quickly samples facts from each group in order. Gets 3 right in a row β†’ marks that group mastered and moves on. Any miss β†’ stops and starts practice there. Skips facts already mastered.
New facts in play at once
3 is right for most students. Use 1–2 for a student who gets overwhelmed; 4–5 for one who wants more challenge.
Fast recall timer
Off = any correct answer builds mastery. With a timer, a correct answer must come within the limit to build the streak β€” slow answers don't lose progress, they just don't add to it. Turn this on once accuracy is solid.

Placement Test

Answer a few facts from each group. Get 3 right β†’ that group is marked mastered and we move on. Any miss β†’ we start practice there.
