Building fluency- For homework your child should be studying their multiplication flashcards, for one number (2-12), for 20 minutes each night to get them memorized. Fluency is the ability to do something quickly and accurately. Building fluency in multiplication will make your child more successful in math. They will take a multiplication timed test every Friday starting with 2's. As they pass the test for a certain number they will move on to the next number till they have their 2-12 facts fluently mastered. Ask your child how they did on their last test.
Building basic skills- in Jam Session we group kids according to what skills they need help on. All groups are currently working on skills to make the kids more successful with multiplication in 5th grade.
