School Wide Initiative:

7s and 8s multiplication facts

Dec 03, 2025
DoDEA Americas Secondary Math ISS Team recently concluded a groundbreaking professional development course, Building Thinking Classrooms, that brought together 114 pre-kindergarten through 12th-grade educators across all three DoDEA regions.

We need your help! As part of our school-wide math initiative, students are working hard to master their multiplication facts and there’s a fun reward in store! If we reach our goal, students will earn a special school-wide celebration on Thursday, December 18th!

How you can help:
This week, we’re focusing on the 7s and 8s multiplication facts. We’ve noticed that many students are finding 7 × 12 and 8 × 12 especially tricky. A few minutes of practice at home can make a big difference!

Here are a few fun ways to support your scholar:

  • Practice flashcards together
  • Use multiplication songs or videos
  • Play quick math games during car rides or dinner
  • Encourage them to teach you what they’ve learned

Thank you for being such an important part of your child’s learning journey. With your support, we know our students will rise to the challenge!
