Teaching
I am currently teaching 5th grade in Comfort, Texas, which is North of San Antonio. I am thrilled to be teaching three math classes each day, and have implemented Just The Facts with every one of my students. We also use Just The Facts in tutorials for extra intervention. Before relocating to Comfort, I taught first grade for five years and third grade for six years. Also, for five years I was the Math Specialist for grades K-6, where I was able to train and use my program with many of the students and teachers.

March 2008 Study
Have you read the latest findings from the United States Department of Education, in March 2008?

The research is based on a 2 year period with over 16,000 studies and finds that students need a systematic basic approach in mathematics and have a strong foundation in their basic facts for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to be able to understand algebraic thinking.

The reports reads, "Students need to be grounded in both the effortless, automatic recall of simple procedures and in the acquistion of broader problem -solving skills. Mathematics needs to be taught with consistency and logic."

How Just The Facts Works
Just The Facts teaches every student a step-by-step process that shows students what the symbols and numbers mean in every number sentence.

Then we remove one number in the number sentence for children to use problem solving skills by applying vocabulary, reasoning and automatic recall. Students do not move on to the next level until they have mastered each test with 100% accuracy. Read more in the workshops page.
