Multiplication Flashcards
Students should be bringing multiplication flashcards home nightly and returning them to school each day. Please take 10 min or so a night to practice the flashcards. Eventually, students will be expected to know their facts from memory.
Online Multiplication Games
There are many websites online that will allow your student to practice multiplication. You can also find free printable worksheets for them to do. The more they practice, the more fluent they will be.
