Manipulating numbers automatically in a variety of settings depends on several distinct skills. These speed drills help students to develop those skills, to become automatic at the basic arithmetic facts of the single-
The design of these drills is based on observations of students who became proficient at adding and subtracting when they saw how the three numbers in an addition/subtraction statement were related to each other — for instance, when they saw that 2, 3, and 5 are related by 2 + 3 = 5 and 5 – 2 = 3 and 5 – 3 = 2. The same thing was true for multiplying and dividing. Proficiency came once they saw the relationships between statements such as 5 × 2 = 10 and 10 ÷ 5 = 2.
These drills assume that students are fluent with the language of our base-
