Keepin' It Real - Really Complete!

After having to change my topic due to relocating to North Carolina, I have finally completed my Action Research Project. I decided to see if increasing students fluency in basic facts, would help increase their scores on benchmark assessments and hopefully their End of Course Exams. 

I saw that as students fact fluency increased there was a slight increase in their benchmark scores. I cannot report whether or not this will translate in to higher EOC scores because we don't test until the end of May. I do feel that the data supports that this will help by preventing the from getting worn out with tedious skills and allow them more energy to focus on more difficult content.
