What would you say if I told you I know the key to better math learning for your kids? The ONE thing that would ensure that your child will perform better for the rest of their math career?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Spoiler alert: I do.<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

And it’s math facts. Look, I\u2019m not going to beat around the bush. It’s math facts.<\/strong> It is almost always, always, always not knowing math facts that trips kids up. <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

They need to learn their math facts.<\/strong> They need to have the basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division facts solidly in their head.<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Why? Not having automatic recall of these basic facts makes math slow and laborious. <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Students become frustrated, disempowered and even disengaged when they are spending all their precious brain AND willpower on computing the basic facts.  <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In contrast, students who have memorized their math facts feel confident. They are able to recall answers quickly and start to work on more challenging computations. Research shows that it\u2019s these students who perform better in pre-algebra, algebra, and higher-level math. Doesn’t that sound great?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

And all those complaints about math: \u201cIt\u2019s hard!\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s boring!\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t understand!\u201d<\/em> tend to go away when the math facts are in their head and easy to access.<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut Nicole, my child doesn\u2019t like memorizing!\u201d <\/i><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I know! Believe me, I know! I remember the process myself and I\u2019ve watched my own kids struggle through it. That\u2019s why I came up with an answer and I want to make sure you know about it.<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Drill Team<\/span><\/a>, is my recently launched program designed to take away the boredom and complaints that come with the process of memorizing math facts. <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Drill Team<\/span><\/a> combats all of that a new, modern approach to math facts. It features<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Frequent Quizzing:<\/b> short periods of time to review that don\u2019t leave your student exhausted.<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Only 3-4 Math Facts at a Time:<\/b> manageable chunks of information <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Multi-sensory Components:<\/b> Can math facts be fun? You bet! With catchy songs, dances, and games, the process becomes something your child looks forward to.<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cumulative Review:<\/b> Consistent review of both the newest facts and the ones previously learned helps it all come together.<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Optional Materials Kit<\/b><\/a>: <\/b>Gives kids physical flashcards and themed incentives for even more assistance as they go through the program.<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\"math<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Drill Team is a standalone program that can be done by anyone. It doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re using <\/span>Saxon Math<\/span><\/a> or not–Drill Team works for any student who needs to get the math facts in their head!<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

That makes it a great choice to add to your summer days. Just 15-20 minutes of time in the morning plus a brief (30-90 seconds!) review each evening means that between now and the start of next school year, your student could have all the essential addition\/subtraction and multiplication\/division facts in their head–for good!<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Still skeptical? I\u2019m currently offering a FREE seven-day trial<\/a> so you can get a taste of it for yourself. You\u2019ll get to see just what the Drill Team has to offer. All you have to do is get your kid in front of the computer and let the Team do the rest of the work. <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

My hunch is that if you stick with it for the full week<\/a>, you\u2019ll have a kid who\u2019s actually ASKING to learn their math facts.  <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

And wouldn\u2019t that be an amazing change?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ready to try it out? This link will take you straight to the free trial signup page.<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Talk to you soon,<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
