In math, we've been working on dividing with a one-digit divisor. This week we will delve even deeper into division, using two-digit divisors. In order to be successful at this, students need to have a firm grasp of their multiplication facts. I encourage you to work with your child to practice these facts, switching back and forth between multiplication and division problems in order to develop fact fluency. Just as with reading, the greater a student's fluency with these basic facts, the greater their comprehension of mathematics will become.
Practice also relates to other content areas. Later this week, our class will be having a social studies test. Study skills take practice. In class, we will talk about how we can study and what strategies can be used. Discuss with your child what works best for them. As a child, I used to pretend to "teach class" when I studied. What creative, and effective, ways can you and your child develop to help them learn?
Practice isn't just for sports. Learning takes practice too.
