This week we began Topic 5-Multiplying by 1-Digit Numbers.  We are also practicing our 0-9 facts.  In this topic we will learn methods to multiply two-and three-digit numbers by one-digit numbers.  By looking for patterns in multiplication facts, he or she can also multiply multiples of 10 by one-digit numbers using mental math.  Here are some sample patterns that your child is learning:
               
      4 x 5 = 20                        6 x 8 = 48 
      4 x 50 = 200                     6 x 80 = 480
      4 x 500 = 2,000                6 x 800 = 4,800

You can look for homework this week on Topic 5, Lessons 3, 4, and 5.  Also, fact corrections will be due on Wednesday and we will have a fact quiz that day as well.
