The students will continue to learn and practice their multiplication facts. These are the facts we have studied so far:

0's

1's

2's

3's

5's

9's

10's

We will continue to work on 3's and we will begin story problems with multiplication.

Here are some quick facts they should know:

3 x 3 = 9 (The story about the 3 blind mice)

3 x 4 = 12 (1..2..3..4..I like Math let's do some more)

4 x 4 = 16 (Four by four pick-up)
