All students have gone home with a login and password for Mathletics.  This is a great online learning tool.   Students have access to tutorial videos, extra workbooks, manipulatives and practice test.  I am able to tailor the assignments for each child depending on their strengths and weaknesses.   When your child logins they will be notified if they have a task to complete.  The results are sent directly to me so that I can adjust the learning outcomes based on their results.   Students can then compete against other schools on math games.  They can review concepts they have had difficulties with or they can move on and try harder materials.    As a teacher, I get data as to where their strengths are and where re-teaching is needed. 

For tonight, I have asked students to see if they can log-in from home.  Students can create their own avatar.  They have a couple task to work on and then they can explore.   Students can also download an app and play on an ipad or ipod.
