Please post a comment to this blog entry that shares a web link you can use to practice multiplication facts, and explain why you like the site you chose to share.

I copied this post and its comments from the old blog location at Wordpress:

Here’s my (pathetic?) decimal rap:

To add decimals, you draw a line.
To divide, you move it out.
Subtract, you also draw a line.
Multiply, you have to count.

I’m pretty sure you can do better. Your assignment? Make up your own song or rap that tells how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals, and post it here as a comment. Remember my post “Wrapping up decimals” — it has the key ideas that need to be included in your song or rap. If you have a different idea (other than a song or rap) for a creative way you’d like to show your learning about decimal operations, please ask me about it at school or through e-mail, and I’ll be glad to accommodate you!
