Skill Builders

Check out Skill Builders to help increase fact fluency. Last year the majority of multiplication and division errors in the fourth grade were actually addition and subtraction errors embedded in the problem. This year we will continue to drill for fact fluency. We are looking for speed and accuracy. Repeated practice of basic facts will buy extra instructional minutes later in the year. Thank you for supporting our math program at home!
