Homework this week will continue to focus on our quest to have all students completing 50 times tables within a three minute time slot. We do daily speed tests to increase accuracy and timing. This week's focus is on the 7 times table. The homework also includes the drill for division speed, using the same seven fact family.
Grade 5 also has textbook work practicing multiplication; page 56 and 57 # 1 to 10 and # 36-38.
We are beginning to focus on two and three digit by one digit multiplying. Then moving towards double digit by double digit and finally long division.
Long division is always a challenge for students, and knowing times tables will help greatly.
