Dear Parents and Guardians,
Starting in March, the students will continue the exciting journey of fact fluency with division. Being fluent with division facts means students will have automatic recall.
In the classroom, we will continue to provide daily time for learning and practicing division facts. However, we strongly encourage home practice. There are a variety of ways to practice, so you can choose which type of practice works best for your child. We suggest practicing for 5-10 minutes, 3x per week. Below are options for division practice:
🔶Division Flash Cards: Available at various stores like Dollar Tree, Target, Staples, and Dollar General.

(Division cards that can be printed off and created)
🔶Apps: Hooda Math and Math Cards
🔶IXL: Every division fact has a link within the heading “Division Skill Builders”. Also, under the heading “Division Fluency”, students are given mixed facts in various forms.
🔶Websites:
Monster Division: https://www.mathplayground.com/math_monster_division.html
Drag Race Division: https://www.mathplayground.com/ASB_DragRaceDivision.html
Fruit Splat Division: http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/mathgames/fruitshoot/fruitshoot_division.htm
Division timed quizzes will begin with related facts. Students will be expected to complete 30 problems in 3 minutes. The division quizzes will be given in the order of: dividing by 5 & 10 ; dividing by 2 & 4 ; dividing by 3 & 6; and dividing by 7, 8, & 9. After the facts are quizzed using related facts, the third graders will move into mixed division facts for 2-12. In the classroom, students will practice their facts and will be tested at the end of the week.
We look forward to celebrating the growth your child makes with their fluency of division facts. Thank you for your continued support!
