Multiplication+Practice!

 For the past two months we have been hitting our Multiplication Facts. Each week we have studied a number. From mid-March on we will be working on Multiplication as a whole (w/o specifying number). Students seem to achieve the benchmark that you give them and so I told them that I would like to see them achieving 20 problems per minute. While the third grade benchmark is only 10-12/min. I am a firm believer that their fact recollection should be FAST. As they grow in the years to come in their understanding of math concepts, being fast with their facts will be extremely beneficial. Please practice extra with your child in the evenings if there scores are not proficient in this area.

Beat the timer on multiplication.com and pick the "level" = number to multiply by
