Below is the chart I created to use in class. It is disappointing to think that some still struggle with the zeroes, ones, and twos, so I have also addressed those problems in class. Now it is time to move along. With an understanding of the commutative property of multiplication (i.e., 3 x 4 = 4 x 3), there are no longer a hundred facts to memorize. I want my fourth graders to learn the square number problems first. We wrote them down and are working on memorizing the products, saying them quickly and repeatedly to build a firm foundation for the rest to come. These will become very important as we continue to exercise our brains. Any and all help at home is greatly appreciated since this is technically a skill that should have been mastered in the third grade. I am anxious to push ahead in the coming weeks.

Thank you for sharing this chart! Jacob had a hard time remembering this smart system so we will look it over together and focus on the squares for now. Again thanks!
