Math

XtraMath Daily Practice

XtraMath is our daily math fact practice. The students should be on the subtraction level at this point.

If your child is still on addition, please have them practice these facts nightly.

Mathletics

Mathletics is a comprehensive online learning tool with lessons and activities specifically aligned to the Alberta math curriculum. Your child has been assigned activities that align to the lessons taught in class. Please have your child spend some time at home to complete these activities.


Jump Math

We continued working on our Time unit in math. The students were assessed on their week of online learning and then we covered the following concepts:

  • longer time intervals

  • topics in time

  • calendars

Kahoot

Extra practice with telling time would be very beneficial. If you would like to challenge your child to a Kahoot game, please click here to play.

Make sure you choose PLAY AS GUEST. Good luck!

Name Art

The students worked on a "Name Art" project and were asked to think about what makes them unique. Then they worked on decorating each letter of their name with a design or illustration to represent something special about them.
