The KEY to success in fifth grade math is having those times tables memorized!

Students will struggle with multiplication of larger numbers, division, or fractions if they are not automatic with multiplication facts.

Flash cards are the most efficient method of memorizing times tables.  Just 10 minutes per night can make ALL the difference

If your child is doing well, I always encourage them to do more.  I have extra work that is available at all times.  All they have to do is ask!  I will count as extra credit where it may be needed.
