February 2015 Challenge
Mrs. Stephanie Lenihan's Grade 5 Math
WHAT THE CHALLENGE IS ALL ABOUT
This computer simulation mimics the flashcards of our day. The benefit of the program is that the program keeps track of those facts that students know and need practice, then isolating practice on those facts most needing development. Students enjoy being able to see their progress over time and the short duration of each session.
By the end of grade 4 students should have full mastery of all facts. My goal for all of my students is to close this gap. Please encourage and support your child in this endeavor. XtraMath may be accessed on any computer, and is FREE! Students have been issued pins and a personalized letter was sent home at the start of the month outlining how parents can access the program at home. A link to XtraMath may be found on my website or click on the link below. There is also an iPhone and iPad app if you're so inclined.
When a student masters the addition level, they may earn a ticket in this month's drawing. They may then move onto Subtraction, then Multiplication and then Division. Students could earn up to 4 entries this month.
Everyone who achieves this goal will be a winner and we will celebrate over a pizza luncheon, at which time the drawing for the February Challenge will take place. See the prizes below!
