Multiplication Quizzes Start This Week
After noticing that most of my students are struggling with their multiplication fact recall, I will begin giving timed multiplication fact drills this week. We will start with the 2's, 5's, and 10's. I will include multiplication facts in their homework for the week, but I do encourage parents to also quiz their students using flash cards, mobile apps for smartphones, online games, or IXL Math to reinforce those times tables. My kiddos have a firm understanding of how multiplication works, which is terrific! Now we have to memorize them so they can recall them easily when multiplying and dividing larger numbers.
Upcoming Learning Objectives
Math - Multiplying large numbers. Multiplication quizzes - 2's, 5's, and 10's.
