A useful distinction is between speed as an outcome of fluency and speed as a source of pressure. Toku is designed around the first idea.
Where speed is useful
Rapid, accurate access to basic facts can reduce the amount of attention required for elementary steps in a larger task.
Why accuracy and understanding stay central
Timed conditions can change performance for some learners, so Toku keeps speed connected to accuracy, secure knowledge and the wider goal of confident mathematical performance.[4][3]
How Toku uses the timer
The timer makes a child’s own fluency visible across attempts, giving them a clear personal benchmark to improve while accuracy stays visible too.[1]
