More Mathletics

Prizes were awarded to the students with over 10,000 points from their summer math.  These students received coupons for free Chik-Fil-A sandwiches.  In addition, the top students in 6th, 7th and 8th grades were awarded "Back to School Kits" containing a pencil case, mechanical pencil and gel pen, a ruler, a protractor and a scientific calculator.  These students also received Chik-Fil-A gift cards.

6th grade:  Noah
7th grade:  Tyrese
8th grade:  William

I can't wait to see how many points are earned for the first quarter.  Fifth graders will receive their usernames and passwords on Monday.  Good luck everyone!

Summer Math and Mathletics

Welcome back to school!  I know that almost all of the students spend a lot of time completing problems on mathletics.com.  I am proud of the progress that was made.  Some of the concepts were new, but many students tried successfully to learn them.

Mathletics will be available throughout the school year.  Students will be required to earn at least 1000 points every month.  In addition, there will be rewards for earning over 10,000 points each quarter, and there will be prizes for the student in each grade that earns the most points for each quarter.

Because there are 226 students in the middle school, I appreciate all of the students (and parents) being responsible with the username and passwords.  Can you imagine all of the emails that I have received from over 150 students and parents already?  If you lose it, either contact me or your math teacher and we will email it to you.

If you have any questions, send me an email.  Good luck everyone!
