• Multiplication printables and other resources/strategies:  http://math.about.com/cs/multiplication/a/multws.htm  This site offers a wide array of printable quizzes and practice material.  It's organized by Deb Russell, an American Math specialist & principal. She suggests working from the 2s, 5s and 10s first then the doubles (6x6,7x7, 8x8) then move to each of the fact families: 3s, 4s, 6s,7s, 8s and 9s, 11s and 12s. • Hit the Button (practice game): http://www.wmnet.org.uk/resources/gordon/Hit%20the%20button%20v9.swf • Diaper Derby (practice game): http://www.multiplication.com/games/play/diaper-derby • Granny Prix (practice game): http://www.multiplication.com/games/play/granny-prix   • Multiplication.com (various practice games): http://www.multiplication.com/interactive_games.htm  • Speed Math Trainer (rote practice): http://www.jimmyr.com/blog/speed_math.html •Splat (two player practice):  http://www.active-maths.co.uk/games1/splat/splat_times.html • Meteor Multiplication (practice game): http://www.arcademics.com/games/meteor/meteor.html •Fun4theBrain (various practice games) http://www.fun4thebrain.com/mult.html• Multiplication games from  http://www.arcademics.comhttp://www.arcademics.com/games/grand_prix/gran...

A Focus on Multiplication: 5 Minutes a Day http://hms.nbed.nb.ca/news/focus-multiplication-5-mins-dayPlease look for a take-home notice regarding multiplication facts to be sent this week.In our grade 6 FI Math classroom we have conquered 2s, 5s, 10s, doubles, 3s & 4s with general success. The 4-12 fact families, of course, will cause more difficulty. Skip-counting and using multiples are great strategies for multiplication, but they can sometimes hinder ‘flow’ when calculating and problem-solving multi-step questions found in middle school math and beyond.  HMS teachers believe that it is important for students gain automaticity in multiplication facts at this stage in their math education.  Please read the notice, check out the links, and also let me know if you require any other resources to help your child.Thank you for your support,Mlle Barrieau
