WorksheetsForSummer

Googling around the web for a copy of the WALL STREET JOURNAL article on Singapore Math, I stumbled onto a parent site called Summer School Math.

I've only looked at it for a couple of minutes, but I was intrigued by their math facts worksheets.

They offer more than just worksheets (including worksheets on adding and subtracting fractions, which I think are essential).

They've put together a systematic schedule for which facts a child works on first, second, and third, and when. (They've posted samples in pdf files, so you can take a look.)

For a child whose school is not teaching math facts, this might be the place to go.

Another resource, and this one I definitely recommend since I've used it myself (though not for teaching math facts . . . ): Math Coach: A Parent's Guide to Helping Children Succeed in Math by Wayne A. Wickelgren and Ingrid Wickelgren. Wickelgren tells you how to compress the teaching of math facts into fewer separate items to remember.

Parker and Baldridge are also fantastic on this (have to get kids to school--Parker & Baldridge are on the MathRefs page).

I'll post a couple of other resources shortly.
