Make up number sentences with correct and incorrect answers. Ask your child to put next to the sentence a “T” if the answer is correct and an “F” if the answer is incorrect. For example, try 5 * 6 = 35 (F); 6 * 2 + 4 = 16 (T); 4 * (2 + 5) = 13 (F).

Continue practicing multiplication and division facts by using Fact Triangles and fact families or by playing games from the Student Reference Book.

Here are a copy of Fact Triangles. We use them in Lesson 3.2 as well. They are from another great math wiki: @http://everydaymath.eanes.wikispaces.net/
