Multiplying mixed numbers by whole numbers
Please consider these at-home activities that help to promote student success:
1. i-Ready Reading and Math lessons (Complete and pass as many lessons as you
can!)

3. Memorize math facts using flashcards and multiplication.com
4. Read and meet the AR goal
Together we can help to ensure that students succeed!
