Although I do not assign homework specifically, I encourage students to work on their times tables (up to 12) at home. Multiplication facts are the foundation of math going forward, and it is imperative that students know them inside and out, without having to think about the answers.
You can do Mad Minutes, make or print out flash cards, or play games online. Practice the times tables a couple of times a week, and you will soon notice the benefits in all areas of math.
