Math facts are important because they form the building blocks for higher-level math concepts. When a child masters their math facts, these concepts will be significantly easier, and the student will be better equipped to solve them faster. Math fact fluency is the ability to quickly and accurately recall the answer to basic math facts. To be considered fluent, students should no longer need to rely on strategies such as counting on their fingers or drawing models to compute. In third grade, students must fluently add and subtract within 1000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction. Knowing their math facts will allow them to answer questions more efficiently.
