[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is nothing wrong with figuring this out in the beginning. But it needs to get moving. And they need to do a lot more repetition without having to put it in words every single time. After all, math is a language so that we can put these relationships on symbols and equations and not have to use words. [/quote] I agree. What happens is that students are taught the real meaning behind multiplication and then they move on. Nobody expects them to memorize their multiplication facts so they go from grade to grade drawing stupid blocks or skip counting in their heads. Parents, here is some advice. Teach your child their multiplication facts at home. Don't assume they will learn them at school b/c they probably won't. Memorization is a lower level thinking skill and school is now all about higher order thinking skills.[/quote]
