Posted: February 11, 2019

Mathletics tasks are due Sunday night.  Please remember that students are enrolled in two sections of Mathletics.  One class is grade level material and the second is a review class.  This is a fun way for students to get extra practice in a game format.  Students get feedback after each questions so that they know if they are doing it correctly.  All results are sent to me electronically and I can assign more work where needed and challenge those students who are ready.  Please see a video to explain below.
