June's Post

As I sit here and think about this upcoming school year I think about the struggles with math of past students. The biggest problem is students not knowing multiplication facts. My son is currently learning his facts. This is what we are doing.

First make a goal: Jo's goal- learn his threes by the end of June.

Then practice: I started out quizzing him on 3 x 2 thru 3 x 5 for only about 5 minutes.

Practice some more: When we remember, we go through the ones we practiced and add the rest of the fact thru 9 x 3.

Next month we will be working on fours.

Slow and steady.
