There is a benchmark called Space Challenge which is cool, but they have another tool called Countdown that I've been using. It's like a form of digital flash cards, but it's more advanced than that.
Anyway, it's really helpful and I'm using it daily. Thankfully it only takes a few minutes a day, which is great because I don't have time to mess with anything new. I have a hard enough time keeping up with everything else!
What kinds of tools or methods are you all using to teach basic math facts? Has it been effective? Do you use free or paid resources?
Online resources have never been more relevant or in demand. Learning/teaching in quarantine has itself been an educative experience, albeit quite stressful sometimes.

Just scheduled my SAE for 6/21 any tips or practice tests recommended. I've taught 7th grade all year and this will be 2nd time taking test. Pre Algebra transformations and Linear Functions and Equations are an opportunity.
