Hello Families,
Here is a great website for multiplication facts. http://multiplication.com/basics/teach1.htm . The students are using these facts in most of our math so it is suggested that they use flashcards and learn the facts. Test them and see how quickly they can get the answer. This is the point of practicing facts. Now is a great time to start practicing as they have 2 weeks with no school.
Good luck!
