Teaching a class? Give every student short daily practice, free

A printed sheet is one round of practice. A free Math Builders class adds short daily fact practice beside it, and it supplements your math curriculum rather than replacing it.

  • One free class, with no student limit.
  • Students tap their name at a class link. No student email addresses.
  • Practice takes 2 to 5 minutes at a time, alongside your curriculum.
  • Printable home cards for families, from the class workflow.

How to Give the Check

  1. Give the pre-check before you teach a new group of facts, so the result can shape the plan.
  2. Choose a time and write it on the board. Use the same time on the post-check. Count only the answers that are correct.
  3. Mark with the answer key. Each problem carries a group tag, G1 to G4, and the key lists the problem numbers for each group, so you can tally the counts per student.
  4. Write the counts and the total on the class recording sheet.

The facts are grouped by the order the Math Builders app teaches them, and a fact belongs to the group of its easier factor. Group 1 is the 2s, 5s and 10s, Group 2 the 3s and 4s, Group 3 the 6s to 9s, and Group 4 the 11s and 12s. So 2 × 12 and 5 × 11 are Group 1 facts, 7 × 12 is a Group 3 fact, and only 11 × 11, 11 × 12, and 12 × 12 are Group 4 facts. That is the same rule the multiplication fluency worksheets use, so a missed Group 3 fact is on the Group 3 sheet. The check leaves out the 0s and 1s, which follow rules.

Group 4 has three facts, which is too few to score. The form through 12 × 12 carries one of them as an optional problem, tagged G4 on the key, and the two forms carry different ones. Do not count it in the total. If a student misses it, add the 11s and 12s to their list after Group 3.

How to Read the Result

Compare each student's group score with the mark below. A score under the mark means that group is the next one to assign. The mark is 80% of the group, rounded up. It is a planning rule on this page for choosing what to practice next, not a grade and not a published standard, so change it if your class needs a different cutoff.

GroupTablesProblems on each formMark: assign if under
Group 12s, 5s and 10s108 correct
Group 23s and 4s54 correct
Group 36s to 9s54 correct
Group 411s and 12s1 (optional)not scored

For a student: find the first group, in teaching order, where the score is under the mark. Assign that group's tables next. A student who clears all three scored groups is ready for mixed review and a timed check.

For the class: count how many students are under the mark in each group. Set the earliest group where about a third of the class or more is under the mark as the class focus. Students who are under the mark in an earlier group get that group as their own assignment first.

Pre to post: subtract each group's pre-check score from its post-check score. Twenty problems is a small sample, so a change of one or two problems can be noise. Look at the pattern across the class and across groups, not at one student's total.

After the Check

Turn the groups into practice. Print a one-page sheet for the group you chose with the fluency worksheets, and keep results week to week with the math mastery tracker.

To measure speed, one student at a time, use the multiplication timed test. For an untimed 40-fact check with no coaching, use the diagnostic on multiplication fact fluency, which also lists facts per minute by grade.

Want results to collect themselves? A class in the Math Builders teacher app gives each student their own practice and shows you the class.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is a short written check of multiplication facts that tells a teacher which fact groups a class knows and which to teach or practice next. This one has two matching forms, a pre-check and a post-check, and a class recording sheet to keep the scores.

The timed test is one student against a clock, with a facts-per-minute result. This is a whole-class check on paper, split by fact group, with a recording sheet and a way to choose what to assign next. Use the timed test when you want speed. Use this when you want to know which groups to teach.

So a student cannot carry answers from one to the other. In the three scored groups the two forms share no fact, even with the numbers reversed. A rise on the post-check is a rise on different facts from the same groups.

Choose "Through 10 × 10" above. That form uses only facts from 2 × 2 to 10 × 10, has the same three scored groups and the same recording sheet, and leaves out the optional 11s and 12s problem.

Choose a time and give the same time on the pre-check and the post-check. The sheet has a score line, not a printed clock, so you can set a limit that suits your class. Count the correct answers when time is up.

No. The mark is a planning rule for choosing the next fact group, not a grade and not a published standard. Change it if your class needs a different cutoff.

Yes. Each sheet scales to the paper your printer uses, so it fits US Letter and A4 on one page. The class recording sheet has 26 student rows. Print a second copy for a larger class.

No. The sheets are free and need no account. Printing does not store scores. To keep results by student, use the class tools in the Math Builders teacher app.
