We are hitting multiplication facts really hard in math right now. Starting Monday, January 28th, Multiplication Madness will begin! Please start drilling and multiplying the multiplication facts with your students. The students are expected to drill their math facts at home along with learning strategies at school. The students have to pass off their 0′s to 10′s for a required grade. Every student will be given 10 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 (Reflex helps with this too). The students will have the opportunity to pass off their multiplication facts as many times as they can before the celebration. We will focus on one to two facts a week. Our Multiplication Madness Banana Split Celebration will take place on Thursday, March 28th from 2:00-3:00. 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.
