We are working on multiplication for the next few chapters. The students spent last week learning that multiplication is repeated addition and can be figured out using arrays. This week the students will learn more about the commutative property and how it is in multiplication just as it was in addition. On Friday, November 4th we will be having a Chapter four math test. This is a short chapter. I will be having some pop quizes for the next few weeks to test the students on the multiplication facts. They should be studying them nightly with flashcards. The students should learn up to the times 12. Zero, one, two, five, ten, and eleven will be tested first.
