We will be finishing our multiplication unit with 2 by 2 digit multiplication, using word problems. We will also work with multiplicative comparison and input/output charts.
Memorization of multiplication facts is essential to your child's success with our upcoming units of study. Please encourage your child to practice their multiplication facts nightly. Below is a link to a website that will allow them to practice.
