Working at home
Children have 24 hour access to Mathletics through the use of a username and password. To gain the greatest understanding how Mathletics can benefit your child, we encourage parents to spend time looking at the program with their child. Please see the Guides link on the Mathletics website at the bottom of their home page.
The absolute golden rule of Mathletics is to do each activity 3 times! Why? Practice=Improvement!
The 3 step strategy in the Curriculum area if students get a question incorrect:-
-
Use the incorrect answer to try and figure out the correct answer
-
Go to the Support? it will teach you with different examples of the concept
-
If you still don’t understand the concept write the activity topic in your book and ask the teacher
PLEASE NOTE – Students gain points by beating their personal best therefore it is very important for you or other family members NOT to use your child’s password as your child will then be disadvantaged, also teachers will see a reflection of your work and not your child’s - this makes it difficult for the teacher to assist your child in maths
