Timed Quizzes

Beginning Thursday, many of your children will begin their timed multiplication quizzes. Those children did not receive flashcards this week because the first quiz is only x0 and x1. The children learned today that any number times zero is always zero. For example, 4 x 0 = 0. They also learned that any number times one is always that number. For example, 4 x 1 = 4. So although each child should practice the concept a bit, I don't think it will require a lot of studying.

Any child that continues to work on addition or subtraction quizzes will continue with that concept until they are complete. As they complete these quizzes, they will move on to multiplication.

Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions.
