Ds3 is starting the dreading memorization of multipliation facts that is the bane of 3rd grade! I got some cool games at the teachers store yesterday. One is called Hot Dots flash cards. Each card has a multiplication fact on it, and all the possible answer choices along the sides. You buy a pen to go with the cards, which lights up and talks according to whether you've chosen the right or wrong answer. I also bought a "book" of games boards by Learning Resources that looks pretty cool. All the spinners and tokens came with it. I have a set of Unifix cubes, and I'm going to dig those out to see if we have enough to make goups of eeach fact. Any other ideas? This is on grade level math for him, and I'd like to see him succeed!
