Study Tip
Twice a week students will be taking timed math fact tests in class. You can help your child practice his or her facts by sneaking in little review sessions. While driving to school or an after school activity you can squeeze in a little math fact practice. Simply give your child a few math problems verbally for him or her to answer. You could also sneak in a few practice problems between bites of dinner or breakfast. Any time is a good time to review some math facts!
