IXL Math Program
The LS and the MS have implemented IXL Math program
to support the regular Everyday Math Program. In just the first few weeks of use, 4B students have answered 10,000 math problems!
(This is a picture of the 1st Certificate we received.)
The IXL Math program is a great way for us to:
*differentiate our instructions to help students work on those individual math skills/concepts that need to be reinforced *support the current concepts in classes to a mastery level
*give extensions which exposes students to new and upcoming topics.
Another benefit of this program is that it is clearly aligned with those skills and concepts that are included on our MAP testing program. The students greatly enjoy this fun Math Program!
