Introduction

This is your mission as fourth grade math students, if you choose to accept it. You are to navigate through this web quest to help strengthen your multiplication skills. Sometimes you will be playing games, other times you will be doing worksheets. By the time you are done with this web quest you should be ready to take a timed multiplication test, and complete it with 100% accuracy. Be sure to complete every task correctly before moving to the next one. Have fun and good luck!!!!!
 
 

  task

You will be working individually in the computer lab, every day 2 (computer day) until you finish the web quest. In particular you will be focusing on drill and practice of your multiplication times tables.

Keep this in mind…

• The first thing you should focus on is accuracy (getting the problem right).
• The second thing you should focus on is completing the problem quickly.
• After you have mastered that then and only then, you can focus on increasing the difficulty of the multiplication problems.
