At this point in fourth grade, students should be fluent on all of their facts through 12.
This means they should be able to recall all of the facts quickly and accurately. However, some students are not taking this seriously, and, therefore, after Christmas break, any student who has not passed level 10 on our timed tests, will be required to stay in for half of their recess, studying their facts, until they pass level 10.
This gives them one more month to master these facts. Anytime you are in the car, spend a few minutes calling out facts (especially 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 12). If you have an iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad, there are numerous free multiplication/flash card apps. Download those, and have your child play them for a certain amount of time each day. Thank you for your support.
Level one: 0, 5, 10
Level two: 1, 2, 3
Level three: 2,3, 9
Level four: 3, 4, 9
Level five: 4,5,6
Level six: 6,7,9
Level seven: 4,7,8, and 9
Level eight: 6,7,8, and 10
Level nine and ten: a mixed review of everything except zero and ones
Each test has 30 problems with 2 minutes to do them in.
