FROM THECLASS ROOM Facts + Fun = Fluency How many times have we heard our students' mathematics skills and mastery of basic facts called into question? This topic arises in conversations with both parents and colleagues because of the role that basic facts played in their own mathematics education. Our challenge as classroom teachers is to provide students with activities that will help them improve their computational fluency but also are engaging, make efficient use of time, and are self- motivating. This article shares several activities that have proven successful in my own classroom and are easily adaptable to different age levels of children. Contig, the 24 Game, and Number Jumbler have been favorites of my students for more than ten years. Contig One of the most popular games with my sixth-grade students is Contig. I was introduced to this game through an article featured in the  Arithmetic- Teacher in 1972 (Broadbent 1972). It is intended for students in grades 4-6 but is easily adaptable to primary- grade students. The game is played with three standard six- sided dice and a game board (see fig. 1). Players roll the dice and then use the three numbers and the four basic operations to find values on the game board. The values are crossed off the board as they are used. Points are scored if the value played is adjacent or contiguous to values that have already been played
