Dear Families,
As you know, multiplication is taught in third
grade. We will begin our weekly multiplication quizzes this week. To start, we
will work on the 0’s table. Children should know their facts by memory without
counting on fingers or using repeated addition. The children will receive a
copy of the facts at the beginning of the week, there will be a practice sheet
that can be completed at home (you may want to run off several copies), and a
timed test will be given in class on Friday. It is vital that facts are
memorized for success in mathematics. Many students will need additional
support and practice at home in order to accomplish this goal. As always,
thanks for your continued cooperation.
