Math Facts!!

Multiplication facts [through 12] are used almost every day in 4th grade math.  I am seeing a fair number of students that don't have those math facts mastered.  I often find that students know the process of a math concept--long division, reducing fractions, etc--but not knowing their math facts gets in the way of an accurate answer.  Please help your child at home by working on math fact memorization...make flash cards, quiz each other, etc.  It really will make math not so hard if these are mastered.  
**Even if your child "finished" XtraMath in 3rd grade, I can reset or challenge their program to meet their needs.  It may be beneficial for some to just start over to recover from the "summer slide."
