Do you
struggle with effective and motivating drill and practice ideas for your classroom?
Studies show that students in the elementary grades need 5 - 9 minutes of daily
computational practice to achieve fluency with the basic facts of addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division. The workshop, Drills to Thrill, gives you challenging and
captivating drill and practice activities to enable elementary students to learn and
maintain their basic facts.
Kim Sutton will share exciting methods to
motivate students through whole class and small group instruction. These ready-to-use
activities go far beyond timed drill. Kim has created special math choice activities for
drill and practice that you can use immediately! This seminar will provide usable and
practical activities for the daily 5 - 9 minutes to motivate and thrill children of all
ages. Special emphasis will be placed on organization and management of drill and practice
strategies. If you want instant help energizing your current drill and practice component
