This course is designed to help students learn their multiplication facts 0 through 12 by means of patterns, rules, and mnemonic devices. Students will not learn the multiplication facts in order, rather we will focus on learning them by level of difficulty and patterns (please see the weekly lesson breakdown below). Class will be very interactive with discussions, modeling, and independent practice. Students should have a solid understanding of addition facts. Students should plan on daily homework of 15 to 20 minutes to allow for structured fact practice to ensure students master one fact group before moving on to the next group the following class. If students are not going to be able to commit to do the weekly work, this class may not be for them. Students are evaluated formatively based on class performance.
