We began learning our facts last week. First up, x2 and x5!
Our strategies for x2 are:
-double the other factor
ex: 5x2, think 5+5
-count by 2's, the other factor tells us how many times
ex: 5x2, think 2, 4, 6, 8, 10
*** All the multiples of 2 end in an even number.
Our strategy for x5 is:
-count by 5's, the other factor tells us how many times
ex: 5x3, think 5, 10, 15
***All the multiples of 5 end in 0 or 5.
You can begin practicing facts at home using flash cards.
