cut from http://www.audiblox2000.com/math_problems.htm Mathematics is a subject that consists of three aspects:

Foundational skills: Research has shown that visual perception, visual memory, and logical thinking (which makes problem solving possible) are the most important foundational skills of math.

Mathematical skills: There are many things in mathematics that the learner must learn to do, like, for example, the skills of counting, of adding and subtracting, of multiplication and division.

Knowledge: There is much in math that one simply has to know and therefore has to learn, for example many terms, definitions, symbols, theorems and axioms. These are all things that the learner must know, not things that he must know how to do.

Mastering basic number facts …for example, two 15-minute sessions per day, rather than an hour session every other day …and then, frequent practice with mixed groups …In vertical. horizontal, and oral formats …having students keep track of how many and which facts are mastered and how many more there are to go …Teaching thinking strategies from one fact to another (e.g., doubles facts, 5 + 5, 6 + 6, etc. and then double-plus-one facts, 5 + 6, 6 + 7, etc.).
 * 1) Distributed practice, meaning much practice in small doses
 * 1) Small numbers of facts per group to be mastered at one time
 * 1) Emphasis is on "reverses," or "turnarounds" (e.g., 4 + 5/5 + 4, 6x7/7x6)
 * 1) Student self-charting of progress
 * 1) Instruction, not just practice
