"JUST THE FACTS" Module

Conduct Pre-test and Post-test of each student’s
knowledge of basic facts without ever checking
another fact sheet!

• Choose content area: Whole Numbers; Fractions; Decimals or Integers. Within each unit select an Operation: Add; Subtract; Multiply or Divide.
• Full assessment of each student’s skill improvement.
• Helps build automaticity with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division facts.

The JTF module tests facts from a 13 x 13 grid (0 to 12 for the Whole Numbers unit). Within each operation, you are presented a total of 169 facts housed in four quadrants: Quadrant 1 has 49 facts. Quadrants 2 and 3 each have 42 facts. Quadrant 4 has 36 facts.

"Just The Facts is just what we need! I'm pleased with the result, and know the teachers will be happy with it. For us, "Just The Facts" makes the First In Math® Online Program a critical and essential part of the math curriculum, not simply an add-on.”

Math skills in basic areas have increased dramatically in schools that incorporate the First In Math® Online Program into their
curriculum. Assessment of 2007-2008 data in the Just The Facts module points to improved performance at all skill levels.

When students enter the JTF module, they first take a “Pre-test” to determine their
fluency level. At a later date, determined by their teacher or at students’ discretion, they repeat the same exercise as a “Post-test.”

Using 2007-08 data from the ADDITION* unit of the module as an example, more than 95,000 students nationwide who took both the Pre- and Post-test experienced a 30.3 percentage-point increase in the FLUENT category, from 26.8% scoring Fluent on the Pre-test to 57.1% meeting that benchmark on the Post-test. 

* Comparable results achieved on Subtraction, Multiplication and Division units.
