What kinds of educational applications can be used to address automaticity/math fact fluency?

Automaticity, also known as math fact fluency is the fast, accurate, and effortless processing of content information. By the end of 3rd grade, students should be fluent in addition and subtraction with whole numbers. By the end of 5th grade they should be fluent in multiplication and division with whole numbers. Without fluency in these basic facts, students will have difficulty with computational fluency.

Here are some applications that can help.
Timez Attack teaches the 2 to 12 times tables.

ArithmAttack provide practice for all basic facts.

Academic Skill Builder provides single and multiplayer games to enhance automaticity in basic facts.
