Got Squeebles?

The third graders certainly do!  On Tuesday the girls discovered the features on the Squeebles app that makes practicing multiplication facts so much fun.  As the girls worked together to figure out the answers to facts, we could hear lots of "good math talk."  When one third grader didn't know the answer to 9 x 4, her classmate said, "Remember you can multiply 9 x 2 and double the answer."  This handy app allows the girls to select the facts they want to practice, keep track of the "tricky" facts that stump them, and even see how fast they can supply the answers, if they want to time themselves. The girls worked enthusiastically throughout the period!  Who would have guessed that learning math facts could be such fun?
