This month we started learning our multiplication facts. To start out the unit we learned a few different strategies to get the answers.
3x4=12
3 equal groups of 4 = 12
Drawing pictures
Repeated addition
3+3+3+3=12 or 4+4+4=12
Drawing Arrays
Fact Family
3x4=12
4x3=12
12 divided by 4=3 (no division sign, haha)
12 divided by 3=4
We have started passing off our facts and have passed off 0's, 1's, and 2's.
Tomorrow we will be passing off our 3's.
Thursday we will be passing off our 4's.
Friday we will be passing off our 5's.
When we get back from Thanksgiving break we will be passing off 6-11's. Please make sure your child is practicing their facts each night for at least 10 minutes. We will be continuing to practice our facts for the rest of the year, but are passing them off by Christmas.
Here is a free download for a multiplication game on the computer that helps with 2's-11's.

Making Arrays
Multiplication Game with Dice
Our class loves playing math games, and it is a great way for the students to discover the answers on their own. If you have some dice at your house, play this game for some extra practice! (It will count towards your 10 minutes of practice each night.)
You can pick a number to times by, we picked 3's yesterday. And then roll one or two dice and times the number you rolled, with the 3.
