Math- Multiplication Facts

In math, we have spent much time learning about multiplication through equal grouping, and are now looking at arrays and area. Multiplication fact fluency is a large part of learning in third grade. This trimester, our focus is on the 2, 5, and 10 facts. We are noticing that our students are finding the 10's fairly simple, but are struggling a bit with putting the 2's and 5's to memory. Please continue working with your child on putting these facts to memory during the next few weeks. The year end goal for third grade is to know all multiplication facts 0-10 from memory.


We are fortunate to have our SJPS Foundation, who purchased class sets of flashcards for all 3rd grade classes in SJ. I always like to put the link on here for families in case you would like to purchase a set for at home.
