For those that have done RightStart D, towards the end of the book there are Facts practices. But then you run out of new facts practices and have to use old ones.

How did you approach this? We already filled out the pages, and it's extremely messy to erase. I can see photocopying, but it won't be nice after someone already made a mess of these pages.

Am I missing something, or is there another workaround? I'm frustrated by this!

I found that very frustrating too - -there should have been a BIG NOTE IN BOLD LETTERS... "copy this now; you will need more." If there was a note, we miss it every year.

I let my kids play Times Attack

or googled other appropriate timed tests.

Sometimes I have my head on straight and remember to photocopy a few to keep repeating daily quizzes.

Oh and one year when I had a lot of patience, I cut up blank address labels and covered the answers and then photocopied. Or you could have ds do that.

I feel your pain, Jen. I quickly learned to make copies of the fact practice sheets- but even then my ds got bored doing the sheets.

So I also used the multiplication wrap-up thing for practice (ordered from Amazon) and bought a set of Math War Multiplication cards to use for review. We like playing war and find it's a better fit for ds than more review sheets. I think the set was only about $5- well worth it.

Thanks, everyone! It's heartening to hear that I'm not the only one who messed this up!

I did submit this suggestion to RS, and they are going to try to do something about it. If you go to their website, they do have .pdf files of the appendices. I suggested having the repeated worksheets in a similar way.

We'll see what they do!

We're not Right Start users, but we've been solidifying facts using

*Khan Academy videos usefully arranged by topic at AdaptedMind.com (we don't subscribe to Adapted Mind -- just use the free stuff). There are also online practice apps at AM and Khan, which we use sometimes. I love Khan, but discovering the videos sorted by grade/age/level-appropriate topic, without having to wade through all the Khan goodness, has been a huge help to me. AM has added a few of their own "concept" videos as well, though we haven't watched any of them yet.

*blank multiplication-table grid sheets from Math-Drills.com. VERY useful and helpful. I found that my kids just needed to drill like this before they could handle math-facts games. Math-Drills.com also has addition tables and subtraction and division facts (and pretty much everything else). We're in a serious facts-review phase right now, so I'm all over this stuff. It's given us a way to back off from a wall my 10-year-old was hitting with division . . .

This is a great idea! We're only in C, but I copied off the practice pages at the beginning of the year, put them in plastic page protectors, and we use them with transparency markers. I really hope they put pdfs up, though. Copying them was rather laborious--it would be wonderful to just print them out!

I put mine in page protectors as well to use with dry erase markers. And then we don't always do them...we just play the games when mom is tired of worksheets. :)
