implement Factivation for Math Fact Fluency Promoting a Successful Schoolwide Implementation

“Not another program!” “I already have enough on my plate…now this too!” “This may be 'the thing’ this year, but next year it will be out the window like everything else.”

Just imagine 20-30 daily exposures to Multiplication facts like 6x3, 8x7, 7x7, etc! This is a powerful, but little-known secret
