Genius Addition, Subtraction, and Multiplication Math Facts Test

THE BETA VERSION OF OUR NEW ONLINE MULTIPLICATION FACTS TEST IS READY FOR ACTION!
We think you'll find this new Genius design amazing to say the least. Here's what Genius does:

1.	Testing begins with the 100 multiplication facts (0 through 9) showing one math fact at at time.
2.	When a mistake is made, one of the characters appear and teaches the correct answer with their own unique voice.
3.	A practice page then appears which forces the student to practice the mistake that was just made (immediate feedback). There are ten practice facts total. Six math facts are the fact just answered incorrect, but 4 are the previously incorrect math fact. Answers are multiple choice, but if a mistake is made when answering, the correct answer is shown and the student must start again from number 1 in the practice set. As you can see this greatly encourages concentration!
4.	After answering all 10 practice facts correctly, testing then resumes in the main test area, but backs up one math fact before the previous mistake (to encourage concentration and make it a little more challenging).
5.	Upon completing the test, you'll have options to PRINT intelligent practice worksheets covering only the facts that were incorrect or answered too slowly in the test.
	Please try this beta version and let us know of any audio errors, incorrect links, and other features you would like added. This really is an incredibly powerful multiplication fact learning tool now added to the GENIUS arsenal! CLICK HERE TO BEGIN OUR ONLINE MULTIPLICATION TEST! Thank you, Your Friends at Math Fact Genius

5 Reasons Why Students Must Definitely - Absolutely - Completely - Memorize all Math Facts!
1.	Higher Test Scores	The upcoming "End-of-Year" standardized math tests are timed tests, therefore, when math problems are completed in less time, more math problems can be finished during the test. More problems completed = more correct answers!
2.	Speed & Accuracy	Imagine a student doing the long division problem 540 divided by 7..... The student who knows the multiplication facts simply multiplies 7 times another number in his/her "head" until it is just below 54 (7x7=49). A student who doesn't know the facts is forced to add 7 to itself (writing on paper) until they get close to 54. Not only does this waste valuable time but dramatically increases the likelihood of errors since the addition calculations must be repeated over a dozen times to complete a simple 3 or 4 digit division problem. If you are a teacher who teaches FRACTIONS, all we can say is that you will be wasting your time and theirs, unless all 0-9 multiplication facts are mastered first!
3.	Better Class Work	Math Fact Genius also helps students master addition and subtraction facts so early elementary grades can use GENIUS as well. When the math facts are mastered, classroom assignments from simple addition worksheets to word problems are completed in less time since manual counting is eliminated. This reduces frustration and makes the overall math process far more interesting and rewarding. Even long division requires using subtraction repeatedly.
4.	Improves All Math Skills	Not just for long division, students who have memorized all multiplication facts are able to complete word problems that require long division, multiplication, fractions and decimals much faster than students who use manual counting.
5.	Faster Learning	Most important of all - having all multiplication facts (as well as addition and subtraction facts) memorized will enable students to learn future math concepts from Basic Math to Geometry to Algebra at a dramatically faster pace! For example, while LONG DIVISION requires extensive use of multiplication and subtraction math facts, FRACTIONS are extremely math fact intensive. To convert a fraction to lowest terms (usually the last step in every fraction problem), requires repeated multiplication fact calculations on the numerator and denominator. When adding unlike fractions, multiplication facts are used to find the Lowest Common Denominator (LCD). Converting a mixed number (whole number and a fraction) to an improper fraction (used in multiplying or dividing fractions), also requires knowing multiplication facts. The bottom line? If the multiplication facts are not mastered first, FRACTIONS will be an impossibility! So, before beginning LONG DIVISION, and most certainly before beginning FRACTIONS, you better make absolutely sure your students have mastered all multiplication facts for 0-9. You can be the greatest math teacher in the world, but unless the student has nearly 100% mastery of the multiplication facts, frustration and failure will be a daily occurrence!

What Can Genius Do?
1.	DETAILED TESTING: Genius will quickly identify which math facts students can answer correctly - not correctly - or too slowly. This can be done in six different test categories including: Addition Facts Sums 0-9, Addition Facts Sums 10-18 Subtraction Facts Top Number 0-9, Subtraction Facts Top Number 10-18 Multiplication Facts 0-9 and Multiplication Facts 0-12
2.	IMMEDIATE FEEDBACK: Upon completion of a test (about 3-5 minutes), you'll be shown a professional detailed summary of test results. You can PRINT this immediately for your records.
3.	POWERFUL PRACTICE: After test completion you can also PRINT what we believe are the most powerful and effective math fact practice activities ever designed. GENIUS takes the math facts that were answered incorrectly or too slowly and inserts these into a series of custom practice worksheets. We've designed 3 different practice worksheets that progress through a sequence of special memorization techniques that really get the job done when it comes to transferring information from the short to long-term memory!
4.	RECORD KEEPING IS A BREEZE: We have two versions of Genius: Our basic version (seen here) doesn't require an account or passwords and allows you quick access to the tests and practice materials. Our new GENIUS GOLD version is a database account that keeps track of all your students' test information throughout the year. Whether you have one or one-hundred students, just login to your GENIUS GOLD account to view each students results in a row by row format. You'll be able to see which tests were taken - date of test - percentage passed for the entire test and even the specific facts the student didn't know. You can PRINT a test report summary for the entire class or PRINT a detailed test summary for one student. You can also delete tests, click next to the student's name to begin another test automatically as well as PRINT any of 3 different styles of Genius Practice Worksheets for any student on any test. You can sort test results by student name, test date, type of test or teacher name. In early 2012 we will be introducing online practice activities as well that you will find just as amazing as what we have now! Currently, this database version of GENIUS GOLD is offered only through our MathKEY program for $79.95 for the year - $49.95 for four months or $9.95 per month. You can also order call us at 1-352-484-1020.

THE POWER BEHIND GENIUS

IS COMPLETE MATH FACT MEMORIZATION NECESSARY?
The premise is simple... in order to successfully learn long division, fractions, decimals or any advanced math concept - your student(s) absolutely must have all 100 multiplication facts completely memorized. By "completely", we do not mean being able to answer a multiplication fact in 5 or 10 seconds. Students MUST be able to answer each multiplication fact orally in less than two seconds and really should be able to do it in less than one second. Failure to achieve total memorization of the multiplication facts not only guarantees lower test scores and longer times to finish class work and homework, but also, failure to master these facts means it will be far more difficult to learn practically every new math skill for years to come. Along with the multiplication facts, GENIUS also offers testing and practice for addition and subtract math facts as well!

OLD SCHOOL TESTING VS. GENIUS
Teachers typically use paper and pencil to test students on a large number of math facts simultaneously to determine if students "know" the math facts. While this procedure tells us whether a student answers a math fact right or wrong, it does not tell us if a student has only partial mastery of a math fact (as would be the case if the math fact was right, but took 10-20 seconds to answer by counting on fingers etc). GENIUS, however, records the time it takes to answer each individual math fact and displays these partially mastered facts in the Test Report Summary as well as uses the facts in our practice worksheets.

TESTING PROCEDURE
Math Fact Genius offers both a FREE and Membership version. GENIUS FREE can be accessed from the links above and allows you to do everything as in our Membership version, except the Membership version includes a database for retaining student results, test reports and practice worksheets all year long. The first step to using GENIUS is to select a test from the links at the top of the page.

Addition Test Sums 0-9

Addition Test Sums 10-18

Subtraction Test Top Number 0-9

Subtraction Test Top Number 10-18

Multiplication Test Top Number 0-9

Multiplication Test Top Number 0-12

After selecting your test, Genius will review test procedures and show several sample problems so the student can become familiar with the unique keypad used to select answers. Upon starting the actual test, GENIUS will test your student on just 5-10 math facts and then stop. Testing in small groups like this is better than testing straight through 50 or 100 facts as it reduces stress and increases student effort. After completing the small math fact test group (usually in 10-30 seconds), your student can rest for a moment and click START again to begin testing on the next group of 5-10 facts. How well your student answered the 5-10 facts is displayed on the left of the screen during testing, thereby allowing teachers to walk around the room and monitor progress in real time. There are a total of 100 facts tested for Multiplication 0-9, 169 facts tested for Multiplication 0-12, and about 50 facts for each subtraction and addition test. Instead of testing one student at a time from the database, GENIUS also has a STUDENT LOGIN page so you can test 5, 10 or 30 students at one time (such as in the computer lab). You can also set up a GENIUS test station at the back of the class, sending students one at a time throughout the day to complete testing.

A BETTER WAY TO TEST THE FACTS
Students input answers for each math fact using a special calculator style keypad below the math fact. This is easier and more "motivational" than typing from the keyboard (although you can still type answers from the keyboard if you'd like) and more accurate than multiple choice since "lucky guesses" are virtually eliminated. If students don't know a math fact, they are told to click the red "?" symbol in the keypad. If a math fact is not answered after 10 seconds, the fact is marked as "incorrect" and a pop-up appears telling the student we are moving to the next fact. To CLEAR numbers selected by mistake, students can click the blue "CL" button. For answers to be scored as CORRECT, the answer must not only be right, but must also be answered in under the number of seconds you specify (usually 4-5 seconds).
SEE TOP OF RIGHT COLUMN

DETAILED SUMMARY REPORT
After your student completes the last math fact of the test, a professional Test Summary Report is displayed onscreen giving details of test results in a row by row and column format. This report shows your student's exact answers and the time it took to answer each math fact. While this quickly shows which facts the student doesn't know, we still need a strategy for mastering the unknown math facts.

THREE DIFFERENT PRACTICE WORKSHEET DESIGNS
When the summary report is shown on the computer screen after testing, you'll also have the option to PRINT several custom practice worksheets. GENIUS takes the math facts that were either "wrong" or took "too-long" to answer and uses only these facts to make your custom practice worksheets. How's that for efficiency! We've designed 3 different practice worksheets to enable students to progress through a sequence of special memorization techniques that really get the job done when it comes to achieving total math fact mastery. Worksheet activities include dot tracing of numbers - picking the correct answer from two choices - identifying facts showing wrong answers (called Boo-Boo Catcher) and re-writing these facts correctly. By using a variety of activities on each practice worksheet, we are able to keep things challenging for the student. Each practice worksheet increases in difficulty as well: Worksheet #1 practices one math fact per row (two facts per page), Worksheet #2 practices two math facts per row (four facts per page) while Worksheet #3 practices four math facts per row (also four facts per page).

THE ONE-WEEK TECHNIQUE
Achieve nearly 100% memorization in one week!
Follow the daily steps below and watch your student(s) master (memorize) eight math facts in one week. This could be done at a faster pace, but we suggest a slow and steady approach to increase efficiency. Watch Genius maximize the brain's memorization ability through these powerful and unique strategies. Repeat this weekly process for one or two months and watch your classroom (or student) transform into a true Math Fact Genius. The end result being dramatically improved end-of-year test scores, easier and faster completion of class work and homework, and accelerated learning of all future math concepts from long division to fractions to algebra!
Here's what we'd like for you to do:

FRIDAY TEST:
On Friday, we ask that you test all your students in the morning on just one test. Sometime during the rest of the day (or over the weekend), go back to your GENIUS account and do the following:

1. PRINT two copies of WORKSHEET #1 for each student
2. PRINT two copies of WORKSHEET #2 for each student
3. PRINT two copies of WORKSHEET #3 for each student

MONDAY: Worksheet Style #1
Sometime during the day, pass out the first four pages of Worksheet #1 to each student. Worksheet #1 practices 2 math facts per page so four pages equals 8 math facts. Our goal here is to introduce and practice only eight math facts on Monday. Have the student complete the assignment at their desk. It usually takes about 15-20 minutes. At the end of the day, pass out the other copy of the first four pages of Worksheet #1 for homework.

TUESDAY: Worksheet Style #2
Sometime on Tuesday, pass out the first two pages of Worksheet #2. Worksheet #2 practices 4 math facts per page so we need two pages to continue reviewing the same 8 facts we practiced on Monday. At the end of the day, pass out the other copy page one and two of Worksheet #2 for homework.

WEDNESDAY: Worksheet Style #3
Sometime on Wednesday, pass out the first page of Worksheet #3. Worksheet #3 practices 8 math facts per page so we only need one page to continue reviewing the same 8 facts we covered on Monday and Tuesday. At the end of the day, pass out the other copy of page one of Worksheet #3 for homework.

THURSDAY: Retest
To view the progress, re-test your students again on the same test they took the previous Friday. Look at the results and use this to determine if the student should advance to the next set of 8 facts or if they should repeat the 3 day Worksheet practice again.

FRIDAY: Weekend Homework
On Friday, keep the homework light. Pass out the first page of Worksheet #3 again for review for a light weekend homework assignment. On Monday, after determining which students to advance and which to repeat, pass out Worksheet #1 again and follow the same daily steps again.

STEP 1 ...	Take the Genius math facts test. Only 3-5 minutes. Motivational design.
STEP 2 ...	PRINT the detailed summary report that appears at the end of the test for your records.
STEP 3 ...	Print the practice worksheets that Genius automatically makes covering only the math facts incorrectly answered on the test. Choose from 3 different types of worksheets progressing from easy to more challenging: Worksheet #1 practices one math fact per row. Worksheet #2 practices two math facts per row. Worksheet #3 practices four math facts per row.

Sample Genius Multiplication Facts Worksheet Style #2
1.	Worksheets are automatically made after testing using only the math facts "not passed" on the test. (Pretty neat huh?)
2.	While we now have three different practice worksheets, Worksheet #2 below practices two math facts per row over three rows. (Worksheet #1 practices one math fact per row and Worksheet #3 practices 4 math facts per row).
3.	Although each row becomes a little more difficult to enhance memorization, the Genius worksheet design prevents frustration and failure.
4.	Dotted numbers are used for tracing to stimulate visual memory which results in enhanced concentration and memorization efficiency.
5.	The sample page below shows the top half of Worksheet #2. You can see how only two facts are practiced in each row for rows 1, 2 and 3. The bottom half of the page (rows 4, 5 and 6) practice another two math facts using the same pattern. When combining Worksheets #1, #2 and #3 together, you'll activate a math fact learning process giving results that is nothing like you've ever seen before!
