How to teach this

Set a minute, then let your child finish the rest untimed. Track two numbers: how many were done in the minute and how many were right. Accuracy first, then speed. Facts still slow after a few rounds (usually 7 + 8, 6 + 9, 8 + 5) get their own practice.

Watch for: Kids count on their fingers for every fact, which is fine for learning but too slow for a timed grid. Recall, not counting, is the goal. Kids rush and write the answer to the previous problem in the next box. One box at a time, finger on the problem.
