I don't know. I was in Kumon as a child which is a Japanese math program where you do 30 problems a day everyday. It's timed and graded everyday by your parents. I hated it but it worked like a charm.

Another of my pet peeves. I mentioned before I was a former educator. My main focus teaching was Math at the Junior high level, some senior high Math and Physics too.
Nothing galls me more than teachers who emphasize
SPEED. Pray do tell, what importance is speed? especially today. There are all kinds of technical gadgets out there that will do the speed for you. Interesting though, if you dont have the skills and knowledge to enter the data into that technical gadget, it wont work period, not fast, not slow.
Teaching should be about giving students skills and knowledge, not speed, unless you are perhaps a Phys Ed teacher teaching kids how to run the 100 meters.
I knew a teacher who used math speed thingeys everyday, interestingly at precisely the same time kids came back from recess or noon break. Why? Cause they had no discipline skills. That teacher used those speed drills to settle the kids down.
And imagine how bad you make some students feel with those speed drills, especially at a young age when their psyche is so tender. You can have students with excellent math skills and knowledge but not the speed to finish first.
Teaching, in particular Math, should be about learning a process to get to an answer. And in many cases, there is not just one process. I always told my students, there are many ways to get from point A to point B. I will try and help you learn some of them. If you have another way, put it down on paper, show me, you will get the credits.
