Timed Tests: Timed tests for addition and subtraction are on Wednesdays. This week will be 100 addition problems in 4 minutes.

Now that students have been tested over each multiplication fact set separately, they will be tested with the multiplication facts mixed up. On these tests, the highest fact will be 10 times 10. These tests will be every Friday until the end of the school year so students need to be practicing the facts mixed up each night as well.
