[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is so sad to read 3rd grade teachers posting they no longer assign homework. Research has shown assigning math homework is helpful. I used to teach third grade and every day we had a math quiz on whatever times table the student was working on right before lunch. I graded them during lunch and my students got 100 problems on that number for homework. So if the student took on 6's and passed they got 100 problems of multiplying 7. If they didn't pass they got 100 problems of multiplying 6's.

When my son was in third grade the teacher had the kids make flashcards and said go online to learn them. [b]I had to dig out the multiplication sheets and made him practice. Pencil and paper practice is really effective in math. [/b]I was so disappointed after that year I sent him to parochial school for 4th grade where he has textbooks and everything is graded for accuracy. [/quote]

Of course parents are always welcome to do more practice at home. I would encourage the use of more authentic applications.[/quote]
