A. Xtra Math (is the best tool available to advance your child's math facts and be ready for 2nd grade)
Your student will access the Xtra Math learning program on their tablet or computer using Clever. If you lost the e-mail I sent you on Clever and how to use it, please click the link HERE to access that information (scroll down to the PDF file). I will be setting the program levels for your student. As they advance, I will change the program to meet their needs.

3) How often should I be doing Xtra Math at home? Students should do at least 1 session at home of Xtra Math every day. I may increase that depending upon how they are progressing. Your student must advance in this critical skill of knowing math facts (without using their fingers or drawing circles/dots and counting) or 1st grade math will be excruciatingly hard (as will 2nd grade). I will be checking their progress weekly and sending home reports as needed. PLEASE SEE THAT YOUR STUDENT IS MASTERING THEIR MATH FACTS.
