Each student has their own username for the Maths website Mathletics. I have provided them with their login cards. They have used the website many times during their Lab period and students are accustomed to using it. I will let you know via the blog and their agenda when I have assigned a task for them to complete.
The students may access the website on a PC or you can download the app from your relevant app store.
Visit the following website:
https://community.mathletics.com/signin/#/student
Download the app:
All results are recorded for me to see and students can attempt the activity as many times as they want in one sitting. Let me know if you would like me to reassign the task for your child. If they get stuck, there is an “I” button at the top right of the page and it will explain the concept to them.
There is also an abundance of fun, interactive Maths games for them to play on the website.
I introduced our students to the Quizizz app last week. It is a fantastic application which can be used to test a student’s ability or knowledge in various subjects. The app also allows me to set a quiz which can be completed at home for homework. You will need to download the app onto your phone or tablet. If you are unable to do so, I can print the test out for you. (There will be charges if you use your mobile data.)
Please follow the following steps: (App and Web browser)
App:
1. Download the free Quizizz app from your app store.
2. Once you’ve downloaded the app, launch the app and you will be greeted by the home screen. Press where it says “6-digit code”.
3. Enter the game code that I have given your child. I will either email you / write it on the homework board or load it onto the blog. This code will change for every quiz.
4. Once you’ve entered the game code, press “Proceed”.
5. Enter your child’s name. First name and first letter of their surname (Wendy B). Press “Join Game” and then “Start” when they are ready to begin. Some quizzes will have timed questions.
6. The quiz will be multiple choice. Once they’ve selected the answer, they will be told if they are right or wrong. After each question,the correct answer will be displayed. (The time bar is the coloured bar at the top)
7. At the end of the game, they will receive a summary and can press on “Review Questions” to see where they went wrong.
8. To exit the quiz, press the “X” in the top right hand corner. I will receive all the results and be able to see how they performed. For some quizzes, the learners will see a leader board and where they finished in the class.
Web Browser:
If you can’t download the app, your child can complete the quiz on a computer. Click on the link below, enter the game code and their name.

If you need any help, please let me know. (This is also not a reason for them to be given a mobile or tablet for their birthdays)
