You can access the online Student Reference Book, play games, and more.

I also utilize a program called Arithmetic Developed Daily (ADD) in my classroom.  This is used to reinforce what students have learned in previous grades, build on what we are learning in sixth grade, and to require them to look up some concepts that may be new to them.  Students are not given assigned time in class to complete this activity.  If they finish early with an assignment and have extra time, they can use that time to work on their ADD, otherwise it is completed as homework.  Students are allowed to use virtually any resource that they choose to complete their ADD including calculators (I encourage the students to try the problem first without a calculator, then check their work using the calculator), student reference book, Internet, etc..  I also encourage the students to have their parents go over the assignment with them before they turn it in and check it over.  After it has been checked over the students should go back and fix the problems that were incorrect and have it rechecked.  I use this method for several reasons.  It gives the students that have difficulty with math a chance to use several resources and have success every week.  It also gives parents an opportunity to sit down with their child and work together on the assignment.  The ADD paper is due every Thursday and the new paper is passed out when the current assignment is turned in.

Students are able to better develop basic fact fluency in about fifteen minutes per day.  Once they have mastered all four operations, they are done with the program!

This is assigned in early March and is due in May, giving students a lot of time to complete the poster.
