We love this idea of Cara Carroll's Throwback Thursday....although we don't have a really long time to look back on since we just started blogging a bit ago! When we looked back through our old posts, we did find one that we have been able to reflect on and celebrate it as a great success in our classrooms!

Rainbow Math has begun! In trying to figure out a way to
increase addition fact fluency, we designed an incentive to move up in levels. Each kiddo gets a ring with +1 facts
(in red) to begin. Once they
master this level, they will add on +2 (in orange) and so on until they collect
all the colors of the rainbow. If
you are familiar with Rainbow Words, the set up is very similar in use and
management. Our kiddos are super
excited to begin and are already wanting to test up to the next level!!

We
have blogged about a math fact fluency system we created to use in our
classroom called Rainbow Math before.
We were so pleased this year with the results. So many of our kiddos made it all the way through addition
facts, several made it through all of the addition and some of the
subtraction...and a few even made it through all of addition and all of
subtraction (that's A LOT of facts!!!).
This proud kiddo is one of those students.
Now you can help celebrate our success with Rainbow Math Facts! We are having our Addition and Subtraction Rainbow Math Fact Sets as a special deal starting today through the weekend!!
