Basic facts

In Room 7 every afternoon we do basic facts that takes 3 to 5 minutes. There are 3 different types of Basic facts. The one you start with is 3 minutes and goes from 0 to 12 times tables.To pass you need to get 50/50. There are 12 sheets you have to do before you go to basic facts 5 minutes. For basic facts 5 minutes you have to answer 100 questions in 5 minutes. To pass you need to get 95/100 or above. There are 9 stages before you go to Basic facts Gold. Gold is the hardest stage with 100 questions that are +, -, x and division and you have to answer them in 5 minutes.There are 5 sheets you have to finish.  After you finished Gold you do the whole 5 minute basic facts but in 3 minutes with still 100 questions. After you completed 3 minutes you get a fancy certificate and don't have to do anything during it.In this photo Eleanor.C and Bianca.A are on basic facts stage 3 and Talia.J is on basic facts gold stage 1. Everyone else is on 3 minutes.
