Practice Makes Perfect
The optional, supplemental math practice offered through participation in FIRST IN MATH provides support to assist students in meeting grade-level fluency expectations. Practicing math is essential to developing automaticity. As students "play math games" on the FIRST IN MATH site in preparation for these events, they build multiple fluencies needed for future success.
