I mentioned in our weekly letter that we will be starting multiplication timed tests soon, so here is the information:
Starting the week of February 7th, 2022, we will begin to administer timed multiplication tests to our third graders. The purpose of these tests is to check for mastery of the basic multiplication facts, a third grade state standard. We have spent this whole first part of the year learning about multiplication as equal groups, and we have spent quite a bit of time practicing the facts. However, your child needs your guidance in order to fully memorize the facts. Think flashcards.
The timed test program will look like this:
*Tests given on Thursdays
*30 facts tested in 2.5 minutes
*We will send graded tests home each week, so you are able to see which facts your child should continue to practice
The order in which the fact tests will be given is as follows:
Week one – 2s
Week two – 5s
Week three – 10s
Week four – Mixed Review Test of 2s, 5s, 10s
Week five – 0 and 1s (mixed onto same test)
Week six- 9s
Week seven- 3s
Week eight- Mixed Review of 0/1, 9s, and 3s
Week nine - 4s
Week ten - 6s
Week eleven - 7s
Week twelve - 8s
Week thirteen - Mixed Review of 4s, 6s, 7s, and 8s
Week fourteen - Final of all mixed numbers
WE DID IT!!
