Multiplication Information
Multiplication is underway!! Please help us, by helping your child, practice his/her multiplication facts (in the car, cooking dinner, or during other activities). Flash cards can be purchased or your child can make their own with index cards. We work on fluency with 0-10 in third grade. If the multiplication facts are not learned, the remainder of 3rd grade and 4th grade will be very tough on your child. Thank you 
