Our math year started with a series of timed multiplication facts to underscore the importance of memorizing these 1-9 combos. Fifty facts in three minutes....try it! This class has the strongest grasp of these vital building blocks I've ever seen in entering fourth graders. Shaherzad (on the right) finished all 50 in under 2 minutes on her first try. That's never happened before. Students also keep a chart of their scores and progress.
