Our “free forever” online program offers recommended programs that align with common math standards, providing structured fluency development at each grade level. We suggest starting with the program that matches the student's grade level and adjusting as needed for individual progress.
⚠️ Before using XtraMath for fluency practice, students should first develop a strong conceptual understanding of basic math operations. Engaging in hands-on activities and teacher-led instruction helps build this foundation. Allowing students to solve problems without time pressure fosters confidence and prepares them for success with XtraMath.
💡XtraMath can also be used with middle and high school students to maintain fluency or as a math intervention tool in the classroom
☑️ Beginning Addition & Beginning Subtraction
☑️ 12-second fluency threshold
Early learners focus on developing foundational addition and subtraction skills. The "Beginning" problem set level introduces facts that sum up to 10.
The 12-second fluency threshold allows them to practice without pressure, ensuring they have enough time to process number relationships, learn and recall basic facts. This extended response time is particularly helpful as they develop number sense, processing speed, and fine motor skills for entering answers.
☑️ Beginning Addition & Beginning Subtraction
☑️ 6-second fluency threshold
Students strengthen their fact fluency by mastering addition and subtraction facts with the "Beginning" problem set level, which introduces facts that sum up to 10. XtraMath follows a structured progression, first building confidence in addition before introducing subtraction as the inverse operation. This approach reinforces fact families, helping students recognize patterns and deepen their number sense.
The 6-second fluency threshold encourages students to recall facts more quickly, moving beyond counting strategies and developing fluency.
☑️ Regular Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication & Division
☑️ 12-second fluency threshold
At this stage, students transition from basic fact fluency to mastering all four operations. The Regular program level set starts with single-digit addition and subtraction (up to 9+9) before progressing to multiplication and division, reinforcing fact families and inverse operations.
The 12-second fluency threshold ensures students have enough time to retrieve answers with confidence, focusing on accuracy before increasing speed.
☑️ Regular Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication & Division
☑️ 6**-second fluency threshold**
Building on their previous math fluency work, fourth graders focus not only on performing math operations quickly but also on precision and correctness in all four basic operations.
The 6-second fluency threshold introduces a greater challenge, requiring students to retrieve facts efficiently and develop automaticity—a key skill for multi-step problem-solving.
At this level, students refine their multiplication and division fluency, ensuring quick recall to support more advanced concepts, such as fractions, multi-digit multiplication, and division strategies.
☑️ Regular Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication & Division
☑️ 3**-second fluency threshold**
Students will work toward true math fact automaticity, quickly recalling answers with minimal effort.
The 3-second fluency threshold challenges them to apply fluency seamlessly in problem-solving and higher-level math.
This advanced level is ideal for students who have a strong foundation in all four operations and are ready to enhance their speed and efficiency. Quick recall at this stage supports success in fractions, decimals, percentages, and algebraic reasoning.
