They repeat the same topic until they reach a preset standard, such as 25 correctly reduced fractions in one minute. <br /><br />I wrote up the details on recording and the links to the files last year, so it's changed a bit, but you should be able to get the idea. <br /><br />http://learningwithtape.blogspot.com/2013/07/data-and-differentiation-pretty-way.htmlCarolyn Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16599260326463707273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467202639598238063.post-35571691803530844782014-03-30T06:42:25.121-05:002014-03-30T06:42:25.121-05:00I do timed exponent tests with the first column be...I do timed exponent tests with the first column being to the 2, 3, 4. Second column is to a fraction 2/3 1/3, etc and third column is to the negative integer or fraction. It is good.

Hopefully it will help them be able to recognize them quicker!KristinABChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03887784388444010712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467202639598238063.post-87865987536949836132014-03-29T20:06:18.433-05:002014-03-29T20:06:18.433-05:00Great idea!

If you think of it as speed challenges rather than memorizing, you could include things like reducing fractions, changing percentage to decimals, etc. Carolyn Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16599260326463707273noreply@blogger.com
