Mastering Multiplication

Even though school hasn't started yet, it is not too soon to think about starting to practice multiplication facts.  It is required for all 4th grades to master their multiplication facts.  This is something that has to be practiced regularly if the student is to reach mastery.  I recommend buying multiplication flashcards at the Dollar Tree or Walmart.  You can even make your own!  Also, there are a ton of different websites where children can play games and have fun practicing their multiplication facts.  Don't forget your iPad or tablet.  Put a multiplication app on it for learning fun!  If your child needs worksheets or something from me for practice, I would be happy to get it for them, please write me a note!  I ask that students start practicing on their own at the beginning of the year and never stop practicing!  As they say, practice makes perfect! :)
