Math fact fluency is a critical foundation for students' long-term success in mathematics. This article explores what fact fluency is, why it matters, and how parents and teachers can work together to support children in developing fluency through understanding, strategy development, and effective practice.
In today’s educational landscape, the need for engaging and interactive learning tools is more vital than ever. As educators, parents, and students navigate through mathematics, we understand the importance of hands-on learning experiences that can make abstract concepts more tangible. That’s why we are thrilled to announce the launch of our ’25 Digital Catalog.
A primer on counting skills in the early years
Mathematical Foundation

Pre-K – grade 1 educators know all too well the importance of math in the early years and research confirms, “Children’s early mathematical knowledge serves as a predictor of later mathematics success and their college and career opportunities.” (Shah et al. 2018; Watts et al. 2014).

At Didax, we’re passionate about creating engaging, high-quality materials that make math fun and accessible for students. Our newest addition, the 0-20 Shape Playing Cards, is a perfect example. These versatile cards aren’t just for one grade level or topic—they’re designed to seamlessly support a wide range of math concepts. From counting to operations, these cards offer endless opportunities for hands-on learning and fun. Since traditional cards don’t have the numbers 0-20, they often do not fully address fluency skills students need to practice with. That’s where this innovative set of cards comes in as they provide the range of numbers needed in K-5 and beyond!
We know children are naturally fascinated by trains. Take advantage of this fun event in your classroom this month with a high-leverage math tool, Ten-Frames Trains. Make the concept of ten concrete for your learners with these fun, interlocking "train" cars that hold 10 counters per train. Connect trains together to work with numbers to 20 and beyond.
Go Figure! is a mathematical card game that was developed to make math fun for everyone!
