Beneficial Research

Last year, we had a student teacher, in second grade, who did a research project using Rocket Math. Rocket Math is a ten-minutes-a-day, paper and pencil, worksheet-based, supplemental, math facts practice curriculum. It is a uniquely structured curriculum for the sequential practice and mastery of math facts. The students knew they were involved and were excited to participate. The research proved that by using the Rocket Math program, students became more fluent with addition math facts. I am looking into the program for my class. Has anyone used this program before? If so, what do you think of it?

    Hi Amy
    I have not heard of the Rocket Math Research Project, but I am going to look into it. It sounds like you enjoyed the research with your student teacher. I would like to know more about the findings. Thanks for sharing.

    Hi Amy,
    I have not heard of the Rocket Math Research Project. It sounds very interesting. Was it developed for strictly second graders, or do they have programs for other grades? I am also interested in the findings.

    Thanks! Christina

    Hi Amy,
    That sounds like a really good math project. Kids that struggle with math may find this an easier way to learn it instead of listening to the teacher lecture about math. This sounds like it makes math fun. Interesting!

    Amy,
    I've not heard of Rocket Math before reading your post. Do you think that paper and pencil math is the best way to teach? You've expressed interest in using the program... What are your thoughts on teaching basic match in different ways rather than paper and pencil?
