Parents and Educators! Today I interviewed Mike Kenny (Burlington, VT; former 19-year 5th-grade teacher; now runs MathFacts Lab full time with ~10 staff). He describes a strategy-based, visual, digital platform that avoids rote memorization, using concrete/pictorial/abstract models (dice, number lines, area models, missing factors). He created a 2012 flashcard system, then migrated to Google Slides/Chromebooks, then MathFacts Lab. A study of 4th graders outside Philadelphia showed fluency rising from ~40% at year’s start to ~92% by year’s end. Users include families, homeschools, individual teachers, schools, districts, and international schools (Australia, New Zealand). Grades: kindergarten–2 (add/subtract), 3+ (mult/div). Levels A–Z; flexible switching between operations. Motivation is intrinsic (level progress). Website: mathfactlab.com. Enjoy!
