This coming Wednesday we will have our first multiplication and division fact quiz. I would love to say that I have seen lots of progress with facts, but I can see that they are still struggling with knowing these facts fluently. It is vital that they practice these facts at home as there is just not enough time in the day to work on them sufficiently. After this quiz we will have a better idea of where they each stand and what they need to work on to become more fluent.
I spoke to them about that even though we don't have homework I can easily tell who is not practicing their math facts by how well they do on these quizzes. I am sending some links of some websites that they can play a game and practice their facts. There are also some great apps out there as well.
