Vocabulary practice for Midnight Ride of Paul Revere
5th grade math students have been hard working at mastering their facts. Each week students are given a packet made especially for them. They are given three minutes to complete tables. If tables are mastered, they move to the next table. If not, they stay. This past week we had several students finish their multiplication tables (1-12) and are now ready to begin the division tests. Students may use the following sites to help them get ready for these weekly quizzes.
