Know your facts..... +,-,x,/

Since the students haven't had math classes since June, it is necessary to review some basic math. We have started with basic calculations with whole numbers, fractions and integers.

This year our school is putting a strong focus on computation. I expect that by Grade 9 students know their basic math facts (+,-,x,/). It didn't take long for me to notice that a lot of students do not know their facts, so I would like everyone to work on these on their own time. Following are some websites that are good for basic computation practise:
Mathmagician
Mental Maths
Timed Flashcards

I strongly suggest you work on these at home!
