We started our 2 minute multiplication fact tests today. Several students passed their 2's and are onto their 3's. I suggested they create flashcards at home to practice. You can also purchase flashcards from the dollar tree or google search multiplication flashcards and several free versions are available. If you need help locating a set please let me know. I am happy to help! 

I also sent home information about a site called Xtra math today. This site is a great electronic resource for fact practice!

Homework: Monday January 13th

Wow we have some incredibly brilliant kids! I cannot believe how quickly they are picking up all of the multiplication properties. Keeping each of them straight is a challenge. I know that it makes my mind swirl. Tonight, we are working on the associative property. A good way to remember associative is the "hugs" property. Using the associative property we can multiply 3 or more factors in any order. The parentheses, aka the hugs can move around any set of factors and the product will not change. For example (3 x 5) x 2 is the same as 3 x (5 x 2). For homework tonight students will rewrite each problem using the associative property and then solve.
