In third grade, your student is expected to master their multiplication and division facts 0-10. We will complete multiplication and division assessments in the following order: 10, 5, 2, 4, 8, 3, 6, 9, 7, (11, 12). *11s and 12s are not required for third grade, but are used as a challenge for students who are ready and have completed previous levels.
Students will take fluency assessments weekly (see picture below). Assessments have 20 multiplication equations on one side and 20 division equations on the other side. Students are given 3-minutes for each side to complete. When assessments are graded, they will be returned to the student with a sticker indicating if the child has passed the level, or if the student needs to keep practicing. Students will progress at their own pace. It is expected that students study their Math Facts regularly.
The flashcards can be downloaded and printed at home. You may want to use thicker paper to prevent seeing through the flash card. You may also choose to print them on a single side of the paper and then glue the printed flash cards onto index cards. It is up to you and your child.
