• IXL IXL

     I am excited to tell you that we will be using a website called IXL this year!  IXL is a comprehensive math practice site with an unlimited number of math practice questions in hundreds of skills-all of which are aligned to the New Jersey state standards.  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 started on your home computer, please follow these easy steps:  

    1.  Go to https://www.ixl.com/signin/egts -Enter your child's username and password and click sign in 

    2. Navigate to your child's grade or skill level

    3. Find a skill to practice by doing one of the following:    -Select a specific skill to practice from the list of skills.  You can place your mouse over any skill to see a sample question and click on the link to begin.   

     4. Click on the Awards tab.  Each grade level has an embedded game board with challenges for your child to conquer and virtual prizes to be uncovered. 

    5.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 the Reports tab. I hope you will encourage your child to use IXL  at least three times a week. .  Here's to a year of working together to make math a fun learning adventure for your child!
