Students have been practicing their multiplication and division facts. The flashcards provide students opportunities to participate in engaging games while learning their facts. They enjoy playing with the multiplication tower game during indoor recess when we are unable to go outside. This has improved their progress in their lessons and they love the treats they get when they meet their goals. On our last PBL (project based learning project) students used the play-dough and markers to create models of landmarks around the United States and informative posters. \r\n\r\nStudents are excited to continue reading their books and meeting their goals with literacy and math.
