Multiplication/Division Tests: Students should spend time every night memorizing their multiplication and division facts. We learn them at the same time. Once a fact has been passed, immediately begin learning the next fact. Follow the following order for memorization. 5-2-10-9-3-4-6-7-8. Students will be bringing home flash cards and multiplication charts to help with the memorization. I also send home practice tests if they are needed. A great online site is multiplication.com. Car Wash Multiplication and Car Wash Division are two games that are fun to play. We have already played car wash multiplication.
