99 math provides fluency practice for all grades in important math topics such as adding, subtracting, multiplication, division, fractions, comparing numbers, telling time, etc. It provides the teacher with immediate feedback for the whole class and students.

This program would be incredibly beneficial to teachers as it allows students to see how quickly they can recall facts, and gives them fluency practice-which our students desperately need. There are no other programs available that cover the amount of skills and strictly target fluency. You can play as a whole class, or differentiate it and assign students specific skills to work on, which other programs available to us don't have. This program would increase recall and allow teachers to see whole class reports. Students are struggling with fluency because we don't have a program like this to practice. This should be approved to help all students increase their recall skills. This can be used as a quick daily practice or review. Bottom line is, this program would increase students math computation greatly so they can build on to more challenging skills.

99 math tests speed of recall of basic facts which is not fluency. Fluency is defined in the state standards as accuracy, efficiency, and flexibility. This program is focused on speed of accuracy through memorization and recall and doesn't support the actual definition of fluency with math facts in the core standards. Rote memorization of facts is not supported by most mathematics researchers and professional organizations. Effective strategies for fluency practice promote conceptual understanding rather than just rote memorization. We currently have many other resources available in Granite which support the full definition of fluency including Building Fact Fluency Kit activities in K-5, i-Ready Learning Games in K-8, i-Ready Fluency Flight in 2-5, games from the Home Kits in K-2, and additional games and resources available through the Granite Elementary Math Website which can be used with students in K-12 to support fact fluency.
