Multiplication Facts: Parents this is the topic for 3rd graders right now. Multiply, multiply, multiply. I remember learning my facts in 3rd grade and memorizing many of them. There are so many ways to learn and practice these facts. Every week we have math centers where students practice these crucial facts. At the bottom of my webpage I have 3 super resources to use when practicing math facts. Just have your child click on these links and practice away! They have worked on these sites numerous times, so they will feel confident getting to the right spot. Thanks for helping and know that your child can and should learn these facts in many different ways.
Order of facts taught: 0, 1, 2, 5, 9, 3, 10, 11, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12

We have started multiplication. Students are required to master all 12 multiplication tables. Please practice these important facts daily to ensure you will remember them. Students will also continue to practice math skills through the Accelerated Math program. This is an individualized program to help students retain essential skills throughout the year.
