Dear Parent,
I am pleased to tell you that we will be using a website called IXL in our
classroom this year. IXL is a comprehensive math review site with an
unlimited number of practice questions in hundreds of skills—all of which
are aligned to the provincial curriculum. One of the best things about IXL
is that your child can access it from home and school.
To get your child started on your home computer, please follow these easy
steps:
1. Go to www.IXL.com/signin
2. Enter your child's username and password and click Sign in.
(Note: If the username and password are not listed below, they will be
provided separately.)
Username: your child's first name, last initial followed by 117 (no spaces,
all lower case) (except Matthew whose username is listed as bmatthew117)
Password: your child's smus password X2
3. Click on Maths at the top of the page and navigate to your child's
level.
The students started at level F on with B skills which are associated with addition. As we progress through the year we will master many skills.
Go to the Awards section. Each level presents challenges for your child
to conquer and virtual prizes to be uncovered. Place your mouse over any
challenge to begin.
In addition to making math practice exciting, IXL is designed to help your
child learn at his or her own pace. The website is adaptive and will
adjust to your child's demonstrated ability level. The site also saves all
of your child's results, so you can monitor your child's progress anytime
by clicking on the Reports at the top of the page.
I hope you'll encourage your son or daughter to use IXL daily. Here's to a
year of working together to make math fun for your child!
Sincerely,
Ms. Rees
