Mathletics

Our class has started an awesome new online program called Mathletics. It is an app/website that the students can access on their Ipads. I love this program! It has lessons, tests, and math games that the students can play. It also lets students from different classes (and different countries) compete against each other, but at their own level. Students gain points from finishing assignments and winning math games, then they can use them to make their avatar look interesting. I can also print out a weekly update of their work so that parents can see how they are doing. This program is my new favourite thing! It is a perfect supplement to go with our lessons. Check it out: www. mathletics.com

Because I have three different grades, and multiple math levels in my class, this program is extremely helpful. I usually teach one level of learners while the others work on their own math. If they don't understand something then they can come and listen to the lesson while they wait for help.

This is what the mathletics platform looks like. However, this particular question is beyond the level of my class. This picture shows a competition taking place.
