www.xtramath.org All students have been given a username and password. This website allows students to practice addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts. Once all facts have been mastered, I will be notified and your child will receive a certificate of mastery.

www.mobymax.com Don't forget to practice math!! Your child has taken the math placement test and is working on appropriate lessons.

We are beginning multiplication by one digit numbers and moving into two and three digit numbers. 

After this, we will divide by one and two digit divisors.

Then we're moving on to decimals!! Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division
