We are hitting multiplication really hard in math right now. Starting today (Tuesday, November 19th) we will begin Multiplication Madness! The students are expected to drill their math facts at home also.
The students have to pass off their 0′s to 10′s for a required grade. Every student will be given 20 problems to pass off in one minute. Multiplication facts are a huge part of the third grade math core curriculum. The students will have to spend time at home working on these facts in order to pass them off in the time table we have set. The students will have the opportunity to pass off their multiplication facts as many times as they can before Valentine’s Day. We will focus on one fact a week.
Our Multiplication Madness Banana Split Celebration will take place on Valentine’s Day from 2:00-3:00. It will take place of our class Valentine’s Day Party.
**During Thanksgiving Break and Winter Break, students will need to spend time studying multiplication facts so they are prepared. Weekends are a great time to work on multiplication facts (since there is no homework).**
Each part of the Banana Split is one of the multiplication facts that needs to be passed off. You will get that part of the Banana Split ONLY if you pass off that actual fact.
