*By 5th grade students should be able to answer any multiplication table (0-12) in 3 seconds or less. According to Friday's Multiplication timed test, students who scored less than a 90% will receive a letter home. If your child gets this letter it is your equal resp0nsibility to practice the times tables nightly until the student improves. This is a very important foundation in order to accurately complete many other types of math in a timely manner. Thanks in advance for your support.
