First in Math
Hopefully your student has shared with you the fun new "Math Game" they have at school. In order to increase Math fluency and proficiency Nobel Learning has adopted the First in Math program for students in 1st-8th Grade. This online program is designed to make practicing facts and operations enjoyable. Instead of flash cards and repetitive quizzing, students can log on to their First in Math account and "play" to increase their overall performance with mental math. Students have their usernames and passwords and can log in from any computer or iPad. They earn stickers and rankings as their skill level increases, instantly rewarding them for their practice. Feel free to login and take a look!
Save the Date
This year's holiday program will be on December 16, 2015 at 7:00 PM. It will be held at the same location as last yer, the Faye Spanos Concert Hall at the University of the Pacific. More information to come.
