FISH TESTS- I am very proud of the students who have mastered their multiplication facts. I can truly tell the ones who have “learned them for life” and the ones who only learned them for a test. It is imperative that students know ALL of their facts extremely well. Math will be very difficult if the facts aren’t mastered. Please review the facts with your child on a daily basis.
