Multiplication Practice Using Timez Attack

As you know, we have started exploring concepts of multiplication as part of our current Everyday Math unit. Although students aren't expected to be secure with knowing their multiplication facts until fourth grade, we do spend time developing that skill in third grade.

One fun way to learn and practice multiplication is using the computer application Timez Attack. We used this program for the first time in Computer Lab yesterday, and the kids loved it! Timez Attack has the look of a video game, which is highly engaging to many children, but it also helps them to understand the concepts behind multiplication, rather than simply drilling them on facts. 

If you would like, you can install Timez Attack on your home computer (Mac or PC). Click on the link below for step-by-step directions:
