I'm starting to take over more and more teaching. I am really starting to get the hang of it and I feel very comfortable in front of the class. I really like teaching Math because I know the content really well. The kids are really having a hard time with their multiplication tables. I am really surprised by this because I knew all of my multiplication tables when I was in the third grade. I think that it had a lot to do with my mother constantly drilling me with my 'times tables' and I don't think that a lot of my students have someone there to practice with all of the time. I've decided that I want to base my Action Research this semester on teaching multiplication strategies. Hopefully I can figure out a way to get these students to improve their recall of basic math facts. Math will continue to build on itself so it is important that they memorize these facts now.
