Math All three coloured levels of homework are being asked to continue to use Mathletics (www.mathletics.com/signin) at home. Each student has their sign in card from their teacher with their username (remember to make sure the letters are UPPERCASE) and also passwords written on them. We ask that this week the yellow group spend 12 minutes / 2 to 3 times a week on Mathletics, the blue group 15 minutes / 2 to 3 times a week, and red group 20 minutes / 2 to 3 times a week. Also in Math for this week, we would ask the yellow group to do 1 to 2 of the questions on the Addition Word problems, the blue group to attempt 2 to 3 of the questions and red group all 4 of the problems. For the following Addition word problems, yellow group is to complete 2 to 3 of the questions, blue group to try 3 to 4 of the questions, and red group to complete all 4 questions and can also create two of their addition word problems instead of just one.
