Welcome back from a restful 4 day weekend. I hope you all are ready for the 3rd quarter! In math, we are diving deeper into multiplication. Please use whatever strategy necessary to build that multiplication fluency (i.e., paper/pencil, websites, flash cards). Math Magician 1 is one link students can practice multiplication. Math Magician 2 is the same site as Math Magician 1 but it is more challenging because it has 12's facts. I have introduced students to Multiplication Practice. I like this site because it allows students to input their answers and then have them checked online...IMMEDIATELY! Yes I know...a teacher's dream!
The homework for tonight is a sheet for them to practice a multiplication strategy. We are still multiplying multi-digit numbers. Students have come to tell me they know or their parents have taught them the standard algorithm. This is great however in class I will only quiz them on strategies. The expectation of knowing the standard algorithm is for 5th grade. I just want students to fluently be able to multiply basic facts at mastery level. I have no problem challenging your child but I'm only focusing on multiplication strategies. Here is a video for parents who do not understand multiplying using the Area Model.
