For our current strand (Geometry), and our upcoming strand on Data Management students will have a reduced amount of at home practice for Numeracy. This is because much of the unit involves making decisions and solving problems together as a class as well as comparing, discussing and studying each other's opinions. As we continue through to the Christmas Break it is imperative that students begin studying their multiplication facts.
The Grade 4 curriculum states that students must multiply up to 9 X 9. Speed and automaticity....(formerly know as memorization )...with multiplication facts only increases a student's chance for success in many areas of numeracy. There are many websites and app's designed to improve skills in multiplication however, not all of these sites measure or monitor a student's success rate. It is always a good idea to practice multiplication facts out loud and with a partner.
