A Beginning of the School Year Must Have!!!!!!I send this helpful form home along with my Welcome Letter to Parents. Parents will answer a series of relevant questions about their child. The information usually proves to be quite helpful. The sooner you get this the better because it will help you figure out your students sooner rather than later.

Individual Multiplication Fluency Tracker (editable)

I use this individual tracker to measure 5th grade students' multiplication fluency. Instead of recording the grades in the gradebook, I have students fill in their scores on this sheet each time they are assessed, approximately every 2 weeks. Students are motivated when they improve their scores and continue to review their multiplication facts (0-12). If a student's score drops,he/she is reminded to have a growth mindset and strive to improve on the next assessment.
