Math Fact Fluency Program has started - please see the file attached below for more information. Ask your child about which facts (s)he is working towards achieving. Each child has created a goal to meet based on his/her needs.
Has your child taken initiative to create flashcards to help meet the goal yet?
Every Student in our grade has a TenMarks account. With an internet connection, students can log in at home. Especially helpful are the jam sessions. Students can click on this tab to practice and speed up their basic skills. Parents can also create an account to see what their child is doing in the program. Please contact your child's teacher for log in information if you haven't received it yet.
Below are practice websites to help your child 'brush up' on his/her facts.
