Parents,
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 $hundredsOrThousands of skills—all of which are aligned to Florida 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 your child started on your home computer, please follow these easy steps:
- Enter your child's username and password and click "Sign in."
Username =
student's first letter of first name and your whole last name
Password = student's lunch number- 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,
Ms. D. Anderson

MATH TIP
MATH Tip for your 1st grader. This will help your child as he/she progresses through school as well as in the day to day life of adulthood.
Start practicing having your child notice ways to make a ten (2+8, 6+4, 3+7; etc.). Students can use this knowledge to help know what the sum of 12 +8 because they know that 2+8 = 10. Similarly, another mental note is that 12 is 2 more from 10 so then if 8 more is added that would equal 20.
Knowing the facts of 10 will also help in subtraction. For example, 14 – 8. The number 14 is 4 from 10, so take away 4 to decompose the problem 14 – 4… and then take another 4 away to equal the difference of 6. I know this concept is difficult; however, we can begin these discussions and noticing’s. This will be what the math discussions will entail throughout the week. Starting this discussion at home will reinforce what we are learning in 1st grade math.
Please if any questions just email me and I will call you to explain better. :-)
