FACT FLUENCY: By now students should know the easy multiplication facts; 0, 1, 2, 5, & 10, as well as the 9s, 3s, and 4s. Students should practice these facts daily to achieve automaticity (recall within 2-3 seconds). For the other facts, students are taught to use pictures of equal groups, arrays, repeated addition, and the distributive property to find unknown products. Currently, students should be memorizing the 6s facts (using the strategy, "Double the 3s facts").
XtraMath can be used to practice basic addition, subtraction, and multiplication facts.
