Multiplication
We are currently working hard on learning how to multiply large digits.  I have noticed that the students understand the process but are limited in their ability to find the correct answer.  I feel this is because they still struggle with the basic multiplication facts.  Below is a link to a Youtube video that teaches a new trick for multiplying from 6's and up.  Remember to practice these skills at home.  There is also a link to Xtra Math and I encourage you to work with your students to master these facts.
