Math Facts


Last updated: May 30, 9a EDT

Key points to remember about Math Facts assessment:

  • The first and (sometimes) second sections in each ATOL test form contain "flash card" items that we call Math Facts.
  • The purpose of testing with these flash cards is to see how well students have memorized basic math tables, as well as how quickly they can perform calculations mentally.
  • Students should be able to answer each flash card in under 10 seconds.
  • Students do not use paper and pencil on any Math Fact item.
