We have really been working hard on multiplication. We are now working on 2/3/4 digit numbers multiplied by a one digit number. We have worked on three different methods to solve these (paper-pencil, lattice, and partial products). The idea is to give kids a range of methods and have them decide which works best for them. If you have a question about any of the methods feel free to send in a note and I will try to explain.
The biggest factor I see with a few of the students that miss a problem isn't because they don't know the process. I see some students not knowing the basic facts. Please work with you child if they don't know for example 8*7=56. This will greatly increase their success for the years ahead. We will continue to work on these the rest of the year as well.
