Mathletics Update

Today everyone received their Mathletics sign-in cards. We all had a turn logging in, creating our user profile and having a go at one of the exercises. A notice, which includes the log-in details, was sent home tonight. Please take some time with your child to look at the site and try out some activities. You can link to the Mathletics site by clicking on 'Maths Sites' at the top of this blog, then clicking on 'Mathletics'. I will be monitoring the children's progress as well as setting tasks for them to complete.
If you have any questions, please ask.
