When is multiplication taught in school and can students start sooner?

Different math curriculum are used in various schools, so the exact grade that multiplication is introduced to students may vary between schools. The public schools in Texas follow the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) standard, where multiplication concepts are introduced in the second grade, but mostly covered in the third grade and up. However, at Sqooasha, we have come across various students who have mastered their multiplication table as early as the first grade. This is typically the case for students whose parents are involved and want them to learn ahead by introducing them to multiplication tools or who just help the student practice using multiplication drills with the students. Therefore, although schools may not fully cover multiplication concepts until the third grade, you may introduce your children to multiplication facts a lot sooner so long as it does not interfere with their other school activities.

How many multiplication facts in a minute for 3rd grade?

For basic multiplication facts that range from multiples of 1 through 12, third graders on Sqooasha can answer as much as 12-15 multiplication facts within a minute on average. This time is a factor of the level of difficulty of the multiplication facts, the speed of their computer/internet, the student's speed while interacting with the keyboard or touch screen device if using our mobile application, and other factors, which may vary from student to student. However, with consistent practice, some students are able to answer as much as 30 questions in a minute. If your student is a 4th or 5th grader, you may be wondering: "How many multiplication facts in a minute for 4th grade?" or "How many multiplication facts in a minute for 5th grade?" For these upper level grades, more complex multiplication are typically introduced to these students, such as 3 digit by 1 digit multiplications, 3 digit by 2 digit multiplications and fractional/decimal multiplication. However, for basic multiplication math facts, these students on Sqooasha have averaged 25 to 30 questions per minute, with some students answering as much as 45 to 50 questions in a minute. If your student's speed is below the average, do not lose heart. Find a way to integrate multiplication facts practice into their daily routine. Even as little as 5 minutes of practice a day can help to develop the much needed automaticity that is required of students.
