This week, we will continue Chapter 3, Multiplication and Division. By now, students should be very comfortable multiplying by a 1-digit number and they should be getting the hang of multiplying by 2-digit numbers. We have learned several different way to multiply. Ask you child to show you how to multiply the traditional way, the lattice way and using “the box”. We will review multiplication and start division this week.
