How much time does the text recommend devoting to math facts instruction? Why is it important for teachers to allocate time for math facts instruction?
What will be an ideal response?
At least 15-20 minutes of instruction each day should be devoted to basic math facts instruction. Unless earlier introduced facts are systematically reviewed, students are likely to forget them. Students who know facts will be able to compute efficiently and are more likely to achieve success in later problem-solving activities. Time spent on basic math facts is time well spent.
