Please continue to encourage your child to practice their multiplication facts as often as possible. It is crucial that students have the foundation they need to be successful in mathematics. Please take a moment to read this article about fact fluency. http://www.fastertimestables.com/times-tables-are-really-important/
We will continue to have multiplication drills in class, so keep studying those facts! Check out some tips you can use at home to help with multiplication. I have been successful with making up rhymes or singing the facts that students struggle with. Remember that repetition is the key!
