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.
