Today we sarted our baseline testing for our Maths Multiplication Month. All students were given 3minutes to complete as many of a 100 times tables sheet as possible. The final scores have been recorded and students wil be coming home tonight with their summary sheet that we will be using to track progress and improvement over the next 4 weeks. Our class average today was 54.1 - which is the average of all student scores completed and answered correctly. We had 2 people complete the 100 in less than 3minutes with only 1 error each! Students should be making basic facts recall a part of their home work and spending some time reciting these in order to improve. The notice that came home last Friday has some good ideas for improving and practising these skills. The links to some of the good sites to visit are below:
