Math Websites
Your child has an active username and password for the above websites. We work on these in class every Thursday and sometimes they are assigned for homework. But your child can also work on them at home every night or at least three to four times a week. On the ixl website, the skills match what they're working on in class. On the Moby Max website, every student took a placement test at the beginning of the school year. Moby Max placed them accordingly; they're working on lessons to improve their math skills. The xtramath website helps students with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division fluency. To master a skill, the problems have to all be answered in under 3 seconds. Once addition has been mastered, your child is moved on to subtraction; then multiplication; then division. Once division is mastered, there are higher math skills for your child to master. As of right now, 13 students have mastered addition; 4 students have mastered subtraction; 2 students have mastered multiplication. Everyone should have mastered addition and subtraction by now ~ the 3rd quarter of school.

Yellow and Red Groups dividing fractions. They're dividing fractions by whole numbers, mixed numbers, and fractions. Ask them about Keep, Change, Flip. The hardest part when reading a division fraction word problem is deciding which fraction represents the total and which fraction represents the part to be divided. We are working on this in class daily so that your child will be able to tell the two fractions apart.
