Fluency with basic multiplication facts are extremely important for student’s success. Quickly recalling basic facts will significantly impact students as they move onto higher level math skills. Fluency in these areas will support concept development, promote better understanding and build confidence in your child. Without fluency, students will struggle as they reach middle school. Basic math facts are essential to solving multi-digit multiplication, long division, word problems and pre-algebra. Please understand that a great deal of emphasis will continue to be placed on basic fact fluency throughout the entire year. The website http://www.arcademicskillbuilders.com/ is a fantastic website that offers fact fluency practice with a competitive spin. I am sending home multiplication flashcards that can be cut out for practice, if you do not already have a set of flashcards. Tonight’s homework will require basic multiplication flashcards. Thank you for your continued support.
Mahalo,
Mrs. Embley
