Multiplication Fact Reminder-
The state of Texas says that third graders should be able to "recall facts to multiply up to 10 by 10 with automaticity." Please make sure that your child is practicing their multiplication facts at home each night. They can practice their facts however they would like...pick the way that works best for your child!
