Even though the kids have been dilligently working on mastering 4th grade concepts involving decimals (including ordering them, comparing them, adding them, and subtracting them), we still have multiplication on the brain. As we work through 4th grade, I expect students to be completely fluent with all of their facts by the end of the year. It is SO important that the students even have a "Team Achievement" card that could be earned by showing proficiency. Take a look at this week's game to help motivate your child to practice. After all, I've heard once or twice that practice makes perfect.
This game is fantastic for three main reasons. First, the kids are able to race against each other if they wish, or they are able to play against the computer. Some kids LOVE challenging their friends while other prefer challenging themselves. Second, this mixes several different facts rather than just multiples of a specific number. (for those who are ready). Last, the facts are a little bit more difficult, involving numbers times 10-12 as well as 0-9. Enjoy this game, and check back soon for another featured math game!
