At least according to my grade 4 class! :D In fact..we almost skipped art today in order to continue working on multiplication! (Cross my heart it’s true!) The kids wanted more time to play some multiplication games online and since it was SO very popular, I wanted to share these links with you as well! This not only helps to get the kids interested and excited about multiplying, but it’s a fabulous way for them to practice their basic multiplication tables and build up their fluency in math. Please see below and have fun!

The key to succeeding and becoming fluent in multiplying by 2-digits is repetition and practice. Practice, practice, practice. So, today that’s exactly what we did! We practiced using Math Playground (http://www.mathplayground.com/multiplication05.html). The kids really enjoyed using technology to help them with their work. Please allow your child to go log on to this website this week at home as well and…you guessed it…PRACTICE!
