XtraMath Homework!

Beginning last week, I have been asking my students to log onto XtraMath 4 times each week (including both home and school sessions). The week counts from Tuesday through Tuesday. This gives flexibility and the opportunity to use weekends to accomplish this goal.

This is part of their homework responsibilities. It is not optional. Practicing their multiplication facts is imperative to memorizing them. This is a fun and interactive way to learn their times tables!

Please help support this requirement at home. A session is short, often only 5 minutes long. This will truly make a difference in your child’s mathematical thinking and skill acquisition.

Thank you so much for your continued support!
