What should I do for math practice? IXL

Hello everyone,

It was great to meet so many parents at our Meet The Teacher conferences last week!

One thing that was brought up during several conferences was what to do for math practice at home. It is expected that if you do not have any math assignments to work on, you are still practising math every day.

Here are some things you can do to keep your skills fresh:

  1. Flashcards
    1. Flashcards can be found at the dollar store.
    2. Flashcards should be multiplication and division up to 12x12
    3. Practice with a friend or family member.
    4. This is going to help you get quicker at Brain Bashers!
  2. IXL
    1. Follow this link: https://ca.ixl.com/math/grade-8
    2. You can complete about 10 practice questions per day for free.
    3. The categories of questions that relate to our current unit are Two-Dimensional Figures (P), Three-Dimensional Figures (T) and Geometric Measurement (U)
  3. Bonus work assigned by Mr. Badr
    1. Sometimes extra worksheets, problems or puzzles will be available in class. Ask to find out.
-Mr. Badr

Update: Friday Nov 8

Hi friends, As you know, Edict responses were due today ! You were meant to have submitted hard copy versions (handwritten/typed) into your corresponding class' drop box (up near SmartBoard). Today was the second opportunity you had to work on your written rationales for the Exhibit artifacts. Remember, EACH STUDENT is required to submit an informative piece of text along with the build, your blueprints, and any other planning documents you may have. I have provided you with some very specific prompts -- please refer your class' Share Folder for this task. You should also be working on your Hockey Hero task, as I will be looking for this to be completed by Weds, Nov 13. Please come chat to me if you have any questions, comments, or concerns :) Happy weekend folks. -Mrs. Lockyer
