FIRST GRADE MATH STUDENTS - Nightly Homework

Your child came home with a letter informing you that we are now using XtraMath in the classroom on a daily basis.

Please use XtraMath nightly
to build Math Fact skills.

We are using this web-based program to increase speed and accuracy in arithmetic. Your child is invited to spend 10 minutes a day practicing math on the computer.  If you don't have the Internet at home I can suggest alternative activities which are also effective.

Go to www.xtramath.org and watch a short "Overview" an "Getting Started" videos.

Click Enroll. You will be asked for your student's enrollment code.
This code was sent home on the letter informing you about this program.

After this quick process, your child will be able to do XtraMath from home  Please complete the above steps even if your child has done XtraMath in the past.  This will ensure that existing account are linked to my classroom.
