Basic fact fluency has always been of interest to elementary school teachers and is particularly relevant because a wide variety of supplementary materials of varying quality exist for this topic. This article unpacks eight common unproductive practices with basic facts instruction and assessment.

Fact Fluency

Are you fortunate enough to have a classroom set of iPads® or another type of mobile technology? Perhaps you have only one iPad linked to a projector, and you organize students in teams to take turns. What kinds of applications (apps) do you have on your classroom iPads? Looking through the iTunes App Store, one will find many apps designed to allow students to practice basic fact fluency—essentially fancy electronic flash cards. Are these truly the only types of apps that are available?

Penguasaan fakta dasar matematika merupakan komponen penting perkembangan keterampilan matematika siswa yang sangat diperlukan. Penulis merekomendasikan agar dalam membelajarkan fakta dasar diawali dari fase menghitung, bernalar hingga penguasaan.Implemantasinya meliputi menyajikan masalah riil dan membiarkan siswa mengembangkan strategi alaminya secara mandiri.Terkait fakta penjumlahan, strategi penalaran dapat dilakukan dengan aktifitas tambah satu tambah dua, penjumlahan dengan 0, menggunakan 5 atau 10 sebagai acuan, kelipatan dua, hingga dekat kelipatan dua. Untuk fakta perkalian strategi penalaran dapat dilakukan  dengan perkalian 0, 2, 5, 9 dan 10, dilanjutkan memanfaatkan fakta-fakta yang sudah diketahui untuk menemukan fakta baru, dan penggunaan game sebagai latihan. Sebagai catatan, beberapa hal perlu dihindari dalam membelajarkan fakta dasar matematika seperti mengabaikan strategi yang dikembangkan sendiri oleh siswa, menghafal, tes berdurasi, dan menjadikan penguasaan fakta menjadi syarat utama belajar pengalaman matematika lebih lanjut.

Naming Test

The relationship between automatization ability, as measured by the Rapid Automatic Naming Test (RAN), and proficiency in arithmetic basic fact computation was investigated. Subjects included 120 learning disabled and 120 nondisabled children between 8 and 13 years of age; 60 subjects in each group were designated as either younger or older. Significant correlations were obtained between RAN performance and basic fact proficiency for both the learning disabled and nondisabled groups. In addition, learning disabled subjects were found to be less proficient in basic fact computation and slower on RAN than their nondisabled peers at both younger and older age levels. Correlations were substantial enough to further inquire whether LD youngsters' lack of proficient basic fact skills may be due, in part at least, to weak automatization. The construct of automatization, or automaticity, has applicability to academic skills beyond those previously investigated.

Reaction Chain

Behaviour sequences commonly consist of highly variable appetitive phases leading to rather fixed consummatory acts. Action-pattern rigidity is typical of the terminal moments of a reaction chain. This basic fact is all too often obscured by the artificial conditions of behaviour studies. Observations on laboratory or captive animals tend to conceal the degree of variability of the earlier phases of each sequence. The simplicity and sterility of the unnatural environment offered to the animal causes differential damage to its motoric performance, attacking the early stages more and the later stages less. A caged animal will feed, drink, nest and copulate, but it cannot set off on lengthy quests for food, water, nest material or a mate. Notorious laboratory devices such as the Skinner-box have served to eliminate totally any possibility for motoric variability. The emphasis in laboratory studies of this kind has been steadfastly concentrated on the variability in the relationship between simple stimuli and an artificially rigidified response. Although the study of this (SR) relationship is an important aspect of animal psychology, it is extremely misleading to overstress its importance as has been done so often in the past. To equate it with the whole topic of animal behaviour is like claiming that the gaming rooms of Las Vegas reflect the whole of human endeavour.

Book Talk

When considering the question of reading provision in remote regions, Australian historians have tended to focus on the challenge of distributing books and other reading matter affordably across vast and sparsely populated areas. In the back-blocks of Western Queensland between the wars, however, the problem of distribution had been addressed with some success: by mail orders to metropolitan book retailers, subsidised postal rates, local Schools of Arts libraries, the Workers’ Educational Association and, above all, the efficient operations of the Queensland Bush Book Club, which performed extraordinary feats of remote distribution throughout the interwar period. Isolated booklovers could almost take for granted a steady — if somewhat limited and belated — supply of books to read. Two things they could not take for granted, however, were reliable, disinterested and informed advice about what books to choose (where choice was available) and — even more important — the opportunity to share their reading experiences with others. Walter Murdoch once said, ‘It is a basic fact that when you have read a book you want to talk about it.’ That may overstate the case a little, but there is no doubt that the desire to communicate the pleasures, occasional disappointments and sense of discovery in reading books — no matter how solitary the reading experience itself may have been — was and is very strong and widespread, and that single families or households did not then (and do not now) necessarily provide congenial environments for such ‘book talk’.

The Future

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a novel technique that despite having been around for more than 35 years, has been underutilized. Its great advantage lies in the basic fact that it is incredibly customizable. Since its use was recognized in various fields of medicine like orthopaedics, otorhinolaryngology, ophthalmology etc, it has proved to be one of the most promising developments in most of them. Customizable orthotics, prosthetics and patient specific implants and tracheal splints are few of its advantages. And in the future too, the combination of tissue engineering with AM is believed to produce an immense change in biological tissue replacement.
