We'll be using Mathletics this year as part of our homework program. Miss Tamasi will be assigning tasks each night for the students to complete. The best thing about the assigned tasks is that there is instant feedback and you will know right away if you are right or wrong. Having trouble? Click on the question mark for a quick tutorial about how to work through the question. Too easy for you? Mathletics automatically adjusts itself to your level and the questions will become increasingly more difficult.
In addition to the assigned curriculum activities, there is a Live component, where you can play against other people from anywhere in the world. If you challenge another person, you will get 60 seconds to try to answer as many questions correctly as you possibly can. You can even choose your level from 1 - 10.
Teachers like Mathletics because it helps to get students excited about math, and they can see their students' confidence build in mental math calculations. Parents like it because they can keep track of their child's progress if they register in the parent centre. Students love it because it's a much more enjoyable way to complete math homework each night, rather than bringing home a heavy textbook or a bunch of worksheets. Plus, it's fun to challenge other "Mathletes" from around the world.
