You Can Learn Your Multiplication Facts Too!

You Can Learn Your Multiplication Facts Too!

Today in math, we discussed the importance of knowing our multiplication facts. We understand that knowing these facts will make other areas of math easier and allow us to work faster. We talked about having an efficient strategy to get the answer or having the facts be automatic. 

We are bringing home some Multiplication Fact Homework - we need to identify the facts we DO NOT know and practice these each night. 

You can help us by:

Reviewing the 'You Can Learn Your Multiplication Facts Too!' sheet

Playing Basic Fact Games with us

Talking Numbers while we drive

Downloading Apps for us to try

Singing Basic Fact Songs - For Example - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HH171nowcJk
