Today, we started digging a little deeper into our 1, 2, and 4 multiplication facts with a game called "Factor Power". On a set of flashcards, partners wrote the product of a multiplication table we know. One partner picked a flashcard and tried to draw a factor array on a piece of grid paper. This was challenging for some of them (especially the 4's!) From here on out, multiplication practice will be part of daily homework in some form or another. Whether practicing from flashcards, apps, or the "math facts" link on this blog, we will need daily practice with these facts to achieve fluency. It's always such a joy to see the kids work so well together to help each other learn these facts!
Sincerely,
Amanda Gustafson
