Everyday Math Website

Hi Parents!
I wanted to make sure you know that the children were each given a personalized username and password. One copy was sent home, and another is glued into their assignment notebooks.

Once logged in on the site, choose the current unit & lesson in this section:

Among other things, the website provides:
  • pertinent vocabulary
  • the Study Link (SL) page
  • games
  • an interactive Student Reference Book (SRB)
(The children are also allowed to bring the text home.)

At the bottom of the page is a section called, "More Stuff You Can Do." There you will find animated math strategies (algorithms), games for grades K-6, and many other great resources.

Please contact me if you have questions or need help accessing the information.

Have a great weekend!
