Tired of endless flash cards, and wasting paper for math fact drills? Then you may be interested in
Math Facts Now! We were recently given the chance to use and review their new downloadable program. With Math facts now parents can set up drills for each of the four math functions +-*/! You can set the amount of problems, how long your child has to answer and what numbers you want covered. Parents can also track the progress of each student. It is super easy to download and use. The program is a basic straight forward no frills kind of program. I appreciate how it eliminates my need to print out drill sheets, and still gives Buster the extra practice he needs. Does Buster enjoy it you say? Well I'm not gonna lie he isn't exactly begging to do it, but I'm not sure that he would ever ask to do math drill. Math Facts Now sells for $15.95 as a download or as a CD ROM. The only things about the program I would change are, I wish you could work on more than one function at a time, and I wish that you could set a lower goal than 50 correct answers.
Pros:
Easy to download and use.
Straight forward.
Can be used with more than one student.
Cons:
Only able to practice one function at a time.
Minimum of 50 correct answer to finish a lesson.
Math Facts Now was given to me free of charge in exchange for my honest review. No other compensation was given.

Abbie,
We enjoyed using Math Facts NOW!. You might want to check on the updates to the program. Although you still can only do one function at a time, you can now choose the amount of equations needed to complete each lesson. We too have been using drill sheets and like this alternative to all of the paper.
