Meanings of multiplication: we will have a performance task on Monday - children need to be able to write a story problem, determine the commutative property of mult. related equation, draw an array as well as an illustration, and write the repeated addition equation.
Facts:
Each child must learn their multiplication facts! The only way to succeed with multiplication is through the memorization of facts.
We will be using a program called “Multiplication Facts in Seven Days.” Each night you will receive a letter with the facts that must be memorized that night as part of your child’s homework. He/she will be given a timed assessment the next day on those facts. These grades will be included in his/her math averages.
Some suggestions for additional multiplication practice are flashcards and on line multiplication websites (www.multiplicationcity.com www.ixl.com www.multiplication.com)
