Even though we are moving on, several students haven’t mastered 2-digit multiplication, which is a very important skill. It would be worthwhile to have your student continue to practice this skill at home. It will make the rest of the year and next year much easier. You can check Khan Academy or contact me if you want to see how your student is doing with multiplication.
