XtraMath.org
We have been using a web-based program called XtraMath to increase speed and accuracy in arithmetic. Your child is invited to spend a few minutes each day practicing math on the computer over the holiday break. If you don't have Internet at home we can suggest alternative activities which are also effective.
Contact Mr. Dinkel if you need your XtraMath enrollment code.
Math Masters: David-Jarrard, Elijah, Gabe, Ian, Becky, and Joshua
