Mental
Math:

 

Spend 10
minutes each day playing a game from your child’s GYGO (Get Your Game On)
folder.  These were brought home in
December.  They have several games that
focus on the essential mental math skills of addition, subtraction,
multiplication and division.  Each game
has a description of how to play and how to modify the rules to change the
difficulty of the game.

 

Sumdog:

 

This is
a great learning tool that allows uses interactive games to provide a fun way
for students to learn and practice their math skills.  Some great features of this:

 

·       
It
can be played on any computer/tablet/phone with internet capabilities.  Just download the app or go to Sumdog.com

 

·       
Students
username and password are on a sticker on the front of their agenda.

 

·       
I
have set the questions/skills so that they are working on the concepts that
they were leaning when school was shut down.

 

·       
I
can adjust their questions as they progress and learn new concepts.

 

·       
Instant
feedback.

 

·       
I
can track their progress: What questions they are getting correct, incorrect,
how much time they are spending on it.

 

·       
It
is interactive, so they can play against their friends/classmates.

 

·       
They
make “virtual” coins when they answer questions correctly that they can spend
in their “house” or “buy” gifts for their friends with.

 

Playing
mental math games and using Sumdog is a great way to continue with your child’s
learning this week. 

 

In the
coming weeks, I hope to support you with further resources as best I can.

 

Below is
a link to a math brochure that provides more resources that may help you.  It also provides a “Big Ideas in Math”.  This gives you a good idea of the concepts we
have been learning this year and hope to continue to learn.
