The FASTT MATH Intervention Model
Students take a placement test to assess both typing speed and fluency for facts
in the assigned operation. Fluency is calculated by determining the discrepancy between typing speed and response time for the fact presented.  How Fluency is Determined
 Adaptive Instruction:
Focuses on non-fluent facts in manageable chunks using multiple presentations with aural, linguistic, and animation supports.
Three types of lessons:
Expanded Recall:
FASTT Math uses the Expanded Recall Technique to provide adaptive and intensive practice for the new study facts with the aim of moving the facts from working memory to long term memory.
 | Independent Practice:
 Students must complete the study lesson and a practice game to save their work the session.
Continuous assessment assures students are always receiving the appropriate instruction. As students build mastery with new facts, the software provides frequent Mastery Challenges to determine if these new facts are now fluent. Students also receive a challenge each time they complete a level to determine if they have learned new facts outside the software.
Rewarding Achievement
As students gain fluency, teachers receive an alert. An individualized award certificate can be printed for the student:
