Is it important to memorize math facts?
1. YES! Even though you may not see daily written homework reviewing math facts, it is important that your child takes 10 minutes a day to play some sort of math review game. These review activities can range from simple flashcards, to fact worksheets, to computer games, or simply just sitting at the kitchen counter with another person and calling out facts! The Everyday Math Program stresses the importance of fact power through game playing and Fact Minutes.Knowing the facts now, will make it much easier for your child to work at a higher level later in problem solving and two and three step computation.
