Dear Parents,

Year 2 students will be learning their multiplication facts and their goal is to learn the basic
multiplication math facts with fluency. During this unit, your child will be required to know his/her
multiplication facts 0-10s fluently. To make this a bit more fun, we have come up with an incentive to
help motivate your child to achieve this goal. Your child will be working towards a multiplication
sundae! As your child successfully passes each number, he/she will earn a part of the sundae. For
example, when we take our 5s test, if your child passes, he/she will be able to color one scoop of ice
cream on their tracking sheet and they have officially earned that scoop of ice cream! Then, during
our sundae celebration and when we begin building our “actual” sundae he/she will receive a scoop
of ice cream for passing that test. The sundae party will be held on Tuesday, November 15th.

Each week your child will be taking approximately 2 multiplication tests as outlined below.
Your child must pass each test in order to move on to the next fact family. Your child will know, in
advance, the test he/she will be taking as we will track each child’s progress through the facts. It
would be a good idea for your child to study his/her facts every night. If you have any questions
please feel free to contact me.

As always, thank you for your support.

Regards,
Jona Malamion Cajala
Y2 Homeroom Teacher
