As families are figuring out a homework routine that works for them, please keep in mind that all fourth grade students should be reading and practicing math facts every day. I am sending home a packet that has creative ways for students to practice math facts. I will include the links below. Students are encouraged to find ways to practice math facts that engage them and that work for them. They may already have a system in place and a good practice strategy. Many students shared with me that they practiced their facts all summer long!

There are so many ways to practice math facts. Try out several ways. Find a way that works best for your child.
Test out a new way tonight with your child. Tomorrow, students will share how they practiced. Encourage your child to practice their math facts daily at home for at least 5-10 minutes.
