Altara 3rd Grade

Fact Family Fluency

December 2015
Dear Parents,
We have just finished one of the most important
computation concepts for your third grader this year: multiplication! Future math
concepts will be taught with the assumption that the students have mastered these
basic facts. Below is the schedule for passing off facts. Please post it so that you can
help your child master them at home.
Procedure:
We have finished studying and practicing multiplication and are now working on
division fact families at school. We will be reviewing these facts. Math drills will be given
with the opportunity to pass off fact families. Students may work at their own pace, but
should try to keep up with the class schedule as much as possible. Automaticity is the
goal!
Homework:
For the next few months, math homework will be centered around practicing
multiplication facts. Please keep practicing these facts. Students may use flashcards,
websites, or other practice strategies that work well for each of them. There are many
ways to memorize math facts. Your child should also continue reviewing facts that
he/she has already learned. Websites for games and worksheets can be found on the
class website, and we are including flashcards for your use at home if desired. Feel free
to contact me if you have any questions. Well be celebrating the childrens success with
a Banana Split Party in May. Good luck, students!
Sincerely,
Ms. Harris
