MULTIPLICATION ZONE

Your children have entered the Multiplication Zone! We are starting with the basic concept of multiplying but will begin to build our skills rapidly. We have started with 0’s through 2’s, then we will move on to 5’s, then 3’s, 4’s, 6’s  and so on up to our 12’s.

PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE

We will be spending a large amount of time in Math class working on our multiplication facts. However, please remember that your child is one of 21 children in our classroom and will require extra practice at home on their facts. I suggest making or purchasing a set of flash cards to practice with at home at least a few

times each week.
