Homework this week is a focus on the 6 times table, especially for Grade 4. Times table memorizing come with repetition at home, and should be mastered by Grade 5.
As we creep closer to the BIG units: Fractions, Division and Decimals, marks often drop because of inability to see times table patterns.
Grade 5 has 6 times table as review (they should be memorized by now!) and extra textbook work.
Our class goal is to have everyone able to complete 50 times table questions in under 3 minutes.
We do speed and accuracy tests 3 to 4 times a week on our focus table (last week 4's, this week 6's).
