Math Homework

Students have a worksheet tonight simply to practice order of operations skills. It should only take about 15-30 minutes for most. If they spend 30 minutes but do not finish, please write a little note on the paper signifying that they tried.

Thank you!!

Xtra Math

Our current math unit is on Order of Operations. Many students are not proficient in their fact fluency, which will add an additional level of difficulty for this work. Students have been given accounts for an online program called Xtra math, which will help students with their basic skills in operations. Today, they all received a family letter with log-in information.  Please ask them to share this letter with you. They have already logged in at school and have had an introduction to the program. It is STRONGLY recommended that students spend 20 minutes or so a night on this site, especially on nights when there is no other math homework.
