Students will be bringing home their IXL login cards on Tuesday. IXL math is a powerful resource for practicing the math skills in grade four. If students want to jump back to grade three to warm up on some skills sets, this is a great strategy. As we discussed during the parent information night, it is good for students in grade four to practice math and reading throughout the week. So, during the 20 minutes of homework, students could practice reading one night and math the next. Here are the instructions for logging on. Look for the math sign on card in your child's backpack.
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 learning program offering unlimited math practice across thousands 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, so you have a chance to see your child's progress!
To get your child started on your home computer, please follow these easy steps:
- Go to https://www.ixl.com/signin/kdtaylor
- Enter your child's username and password and click "Sign in."
- Click on any skill to start learning!
IXL is designed to help your child learn at his or her own pace. The program is adaptive and will adjust based on your child's demonstrated understanding of the material. All of your child's results will be saved, so you can monitor his or her progress anytime by clicking on Analytics. For on-the-go practice, you can download IXL's free tablet apps for iPad, Android, or Kindle and sign in with your child's username and password.
I hope you'll encourage your son or daughter to use IXL regularly. Here's to a year of working together to make learning fun for your child!
Sincerely,
Karen Hargreaves
