Students should be bringing their notebooks home this evening to study for the test tomorrow. This is the review they copied in their notebooks today of the things they need to know for their test.
It is very important that students know their math facts! So, for math fact practice with no tears I have set up a Reflex Math account. Students log in and I can track their math fluency. The games are fun and they love it!

I have received several questions regarding the daily math facts on the Homework Helper. In 3rd grade we are asking that your child practice math facts for 5-10 minutes each evening along with homework. We will be starting with addition math facts. I will notify you when we are ready to move on to subtraction, multiplication, division, etc.
It is up to you how you decide for you child to practice math facts (flashcards, websites, worksheets, etc.). You may consider getting addition flash cards and quizzing your child (these can sometimes be found at the dollar store or dollar section at larger stores). There is also a website where you can print your own flashcards (http://www.apples4theteacher.com/math/addition/flashcards/). You may also consider getting addition games or workbooks from a teacher supply store. There are also some websites which have pages you can print for your child to complete (http://www.superkids.com/aweb/tools/math/add/plus1.shtml, http://mathfactcafe.com/view/default.aspx?t=P).
