Horizon’s math teachers are working on a goal this year to increase student fluency with multiplication facts. We recognize that fluency with facts is important at all levels, and teachers are working to provide students with more opportunity to review their multiplication facts. Teachers will also be assessing students once per month with a one minute test on multiplication facts. The results of these assessments will not factor into your child’s grade, but will help the teacher monitor student progress. We encourage you to provide opportunities at home for your child to review math facts. There are many games and activities to be found online. The sites below link to a few favorites.
