Mad Dog Math supplements any math curriculum to help students master essential math facts. By breaking the basics into manageable drills, students gain confidence and move from “math is hard” to “math is fun.”

Students are encouraged to complete daily 10-minute practice at home using flash cards or the online game. Weekly lesson plans are emailed home each Monday evening.
