Students are beginning to learn their multiplication facts in class. In order to get these facts memorized quickly, additional practice will be needed at home. Each week we will take a practice fact test that will allow me and you to see your child's progress and the need for extra practice.
For homework, I will assign practice facts for 15 minutes. Students can choose how they would like to practice. They can play a game on the internet, I have some links on this web page, or they can use their multiplication/division cards in their binders. These fact cards make students learn fact families so that multiplication and division are taught at the same time.
To ensure students are in fact practicing, I have asked them to get your signature stating that they have practiced. You can sign the assignment book or you can write it on a piece of paper. This will be a requirement 2-3 times a week. I appreciate your help in making sure this gets done.
