A. Multiplication and Division Facts: Last Six Facts

With a partner, use your Triangle Flash Cards to quiz each other on the multiplication and division facts for the last six facts (4 × 6, 4 × 7, 4 × 8, 6 × 7, 6 × 8, 7 × 8).

As your partner quizzes you on the multiplication facts, separate the facts into three piles: Facts I Know Quickly, Facts I Can Figure Out, and Facts I Need to Learn. Circle the multiplication facts in the Facts I Know Quickly pile on your Multiplication Facts I Know chart. Make a list of the facts that are in the last two piles so you can practice them at home.

Repeat the process for the division facts. Circle the facts in the Facts I Know Quickly pile on your Division Facts I Know chart. Make a list of facts that are in the last two piles so you can practice them at home.
