The original xtramath guy had a special place in everyone's hearts. But unfortunately, he has been replaced by an animated version. This new animated version has less of the joy and liveliness of the original. It is estimated that 6.5 Million students use XtraMath annually.

An operation is complete when the student has demonstrated fluency in all the individual facts within the operation. When this is the case, the fluency matrix on their student report will be completely green, and the score will be 100. Fluency score: 100 (done with the operation!)

Reflex is an adaptive online system that helps 2nd through 8th grade students of all ability levels to develop instant recall of their basic math facts (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division).

Pros: Good theory allows students to focus on memorization with minimal distractions. Cons: Rote, timed drill-and-practice exercises aren't engaging and can be stressful. Bottom Line: XtraMath helps kids gain crucial math-fact fluency but won't get them any closer to enjoying math.
