Reflex for Success
$845
$830 goal
The Description
With these funds, we will purchase the Reflex game for our whole class. Reflex is a math fluency fact game that allows our student to increase their math fact skills.
For several years my students and I worked through many different math fact programs. We tried rocket math, timed tests, and Xtra Math to name a few. During timed tests I felt like the students were pressured and anxiety soared due to the fast paced environment. Students loathed Xtra Math and were dreading logging into the program to practice their facts. My principal at the time, then stumbled upon a grant for a program called Reflex. Several teachers piloted the program and had an extreme amount of success. Students were even practicing their math facts at home! Parents were sharing their excitement and students were celebrating milestones on their math fact journey. Flash forward to the end of the grant and our principal is working with the corporation to purchase Reflex accounts for all of the Elementary Schools in our district. We hope to have the same opportunity in our 2/3 High Ability Classroom.
Reflex has been a way that has allowed for even our most struggling students to build confidence in base level skills that are necessary for mastering higher level skills. Because Reflex is game based many students feel at ease learning new facts due to the highly engaging atmosphere Reflex provides. We have experienced a vast amount of success and grit when it comes to solving questions that require a deeper depth of knowledge due to students having a great foundation in math fact skills.
In just 24 days of using Reflex (during a grant) our students gained over 171 addition/subtraction facts. When students reach 100% fluency on their addition and subtraction facts, we can switch them over to multiplication and division facts.
We hope that you will consider donating to our classroom and bringing Reflex into the hands of our mathematicians!
Back Up Plan
If we do not reach our goal, we will be writing other grants to hopefully purchase Reflex for our class.

I couldn’t be more excited to share this with the students today! We did it! Thank you to everyone who shared this with family and friends! I know that the students will be overjoyed when they hear the great news!
In addition, other teachers have donated their PTO grant money and not only is our class getting Reflex but the ENTIRE school will have access to this amazing program!
Any additional money raised from our fundraiser will go towards next years cost for the program!
Again, I cannot thank you enough! I know this means so much to the students!
