Conclusion

                   

Using technology in education is a fun way to learn and explore new concepts. This webquest worked on mastery of multiplication tables because as we know it, math is everywhere and speed and accuracy are of great importance.  Additionally, the internet holds an extreme amount of resources that are available at the click of the mouse. This webquest was centered on one major source, but it included all aspects of multiplication. Students also gained experience working in collaboration with their classmates which is a skill that everyone needs to practice.  Continue practicing your math facts to maintain mastery of them because they remain the building blocks to future math concepts.
