Help me with my multiplication facts!

First, the great news! Almost everyone in the class has learned to do 2 digit by 1 digit multiplication!


Now the bad news: the class noticed most of the mistakes they make with these problems are because they don't have their multiplication facts memorized. 


Please, please, please help your child review multiplication facts. If the kids don't know their facts, it will be very difficult for them to do well as we begin longer multiplication and long division. Flash cards are a great way to practice. There are also some worksheets here and there are games here. Each night students will also be bringing home a half sheet of the math facts they are working on in class. This comes from a book of three minute math drills so it should not be taking up too much time. Your kids will enjoy math much more if the facts become automatic. 


To help out others, please share how you practice multiplication facts with your family! Any hints or games would be appreciated!
