 Math

Here are some websites that can help fourth graders practice their multiplication facts.  Students are expected to have "quick recall" of multiplication facts through 10, i.e., answer facts within 3 seconds.

The Math Fact Cafe website provides students with 25 mixed multiplication facts.  This is not a timed test.  Go to 3rd grade.  Scroll down to multiplication facts and choose your practice sheet.  You can print the worksheet , then work on it, or complete the sheet on the computer.

The Mr. Myers website provides one timed multiplication test of 100 problems.  Students can adjust the timer but if a student can finish all 100, with 95% correct in 5 minutes, that would demonstrate quick recall of multiplication facts.
