Research question
There are research based goals for how many words a child should be able to read per minute. On my 1st grade team we use the 50 wcpm from the Hasbrouck-Tindal ORF norms.
What we're wondering is, are there similar goals established for math facts fluency? We assess them based on 2-minute timings of facts with answers up to 12 (that comes from the state grade level expectations for math), but we can't find any research that says "A child at the 50th %ile can correctly answer 20 addition problems in 2 minutes" or something similar.
Any ideas?

I asked our math specialists this morning if they could answer your question. The best they could offer is what White River is doing. They have k-12 math prompts which they use for screening. They have done some research with these and calibrated them---they're supposed to be really good. Do you have a buddy there you can contact?

Thank you, Goddess!
I don't know anyone in White River, but my superintendent knows everybody so I'll ask her if she can give me a name.
How's the weather? We finally broke into the low '40s for a couple of days, and man was it nice.
It's lovely. On Saturday, it was near 60 degrees. It is raining a bit, but we are having lots of sun.
Good luck with your math hunt. I also highly recommend going to WERA at the end of March---two of the presentations look like they have what you're looking for. Get your principal to pay for you to come play with us!
