Is it good for learning?

Educational Value

Reflex uses a fact-family approach when teaching new facts. A fact family (or number family) is a group of related facts that use the same numbers, such as 8 + 3 = 11, 3 + 8 = 11, 11 – 8 = 3, and 11 – 3 = 8. Learning related facts at the same time is ultimately easier and more efficient than other approaches. And it helps students understand the nature of inverse operations.

Cost

Cons

Reflex focuses only on arithmetical fluency, not the whole math curriculum. We'd like to see Reflex extend its coverage to other areas so that schools don't need to use other apps as well.

Benefits for Students

Reflex adapts itself to each student. It learns which facts and families the student is not yet fluent with and then monitors progress towards fluency. It uses this information when making instructional decisions for that student. This means every student learns and practices the right facts at the right time.

Benefits for Teachers

Reflex has published third-party evidence for its efficacy published on its website. The monitoring and assessment tools are clear and effective in helping teachers understand each of their student's progress.

As a web app, Reflex is very flexible and teachers can use it on almost any device they can access, whether they are mobile or desktop machines.

Benefits for Parents

In Reflex, practice occurs in fluency development games. These games provide a lot of fun alongside serious amounts of practice with answering facts. Students must engage in increasingly complex and fast-paced decision-making when playing the Reflex activities. Students are also motivated to practice because the games consistently challenge and reward them for their effort and progress.
