No. Multiplication of 2 digits is implied by end of third grade. At least it was in our district. Or maybe I just wasn’t paying attention what was actually taught in school since I sort have have our own enrichment at home and at Chinese school (which in itself has issues..)
In public schools, if you are lucky the teacher will try to break the students up into different levels depending on ability. If you are unlucky, the teach won’t and the same material will be taught and your kid might end up being bored.[/quote]
The teacher will revisit multiplication at the beginning of 4th and 5th grade. I thought the concepts introduced the first couple of grades were fairly advanced. I guess they do that to make the iterative jumps smaller, but it seems too repetitive. Multiplying fractions in 3rd grade – fairly advanced. Doing it again in 4th, 5th and 6th, not so much.
