The following students and teachers have mastered the
FlashMaster Challenge, and their parents have granted
permission for them to be included, mentioned and, in some
cases, pictured here. Since this page was thought of in June
of 2004--almost 2 1/2 years after the first FlashMaster was
sold--it includes only some of the Masters of the Challenge,
but it's a start.
What is the "FlashMaster Challenge"? To meet the FlashMaster
Challenge a person must score at least 90% on a FlashMaster
when it is set for the "Timed Flashcards" learning activity,
multiplication, Level 7, at least 30 problems, and THE
ONE-SECOND PER-PROBLEM TIME LIMIT. (The fact that a student
has mastered the Challenge must be confirmed by her or his
teacher.)
 Four
members of the third grade in West Elementary School in East
Rochester, Ohio, have mastered the FlashMaster Challenge in
the 2004/2005 school year. They include:
I like FlashMasters
because they are challenging. I also like them because they
are fun. I stay in at recess to do them.

The following Masters from West Elementary School, in East Rochester, Ohio, were 6 of the school's 47 fourth graders in the 2003/2004 school year. They and many of their
classmates--many of whom also made great
progress--voluntarily practiced on 6 FlashMasters during
their lunch and recess periods. The teacher, Polly Jones, who was the source of these students’ inspiration, has permitted me to mention that she, too, took on and ultimately mastered the FlashMaster Challenge. Doing so, she said, made her “that much more proud of [her] students!” |
