Fact Power

Playing with Multiplication/Division Fact Triangles


A habit is an automatic behavior that comes from doing something over and over again!

Developing basic number- fact reflexes is developing a good habit!
In Everyday Mathematics, fact habits are referred to as Fact Power!

We are encouraging our third graders to learn the multiplication and division facts so that they can solve multi digit multiplication and division problems!

When you have opportunity please review over the multiplication facts (times table) with your child. In your child's homework folder you will see a bright-green Fact Power sheet - to record the times tables that they know. On the back is also a Fact Table up to 12x12 to assist them in learning the facts. In addition each child has received an extra set of fact triangles to cut out and play and practice at home. I will be testing them in school on each times table when they are ready.

Thanks so much for your support!
