Last night there were so many questions about the expired IXL
passwords, and what your child could do to work on math at home that I found it
inspiring! Today, I went in and signed
all of the students up for Xtramath. Xtramath is a website that will enable your
child to master math facts at their own pace.
They will start with addition, and when they master that they will move
on to subtraction; when they master that they will do multiplication; and when
they master that they will do division.
This is meant to be something that the children do every day for just a
few minutes a day. A paper will be going
home tomorrow with their individual codes.
Even if they have done Xtramath in the past, please help them put in the
new code so that their progress is sent to me via e-mail. Once they have inputted it once on your
computer, they will be able to sign in independently going forward.
Additionally, I was so inspired that I looked into Khan Academy, and
assigned all students an account there as well.
I still have to research this more, and will keep you posted. However, if you get an e-mail and your child
wants to play around on the site, that would be terrific. Thank you for being so supportive of your
child’s mathematical education!
