Beresford students have exclusive access to two websites to help accelerate their learning in math. The students are familiar with these websites from their work in the Computer Lab and we encourage you to continue this learning at home.

IXL (grades 2-5 only):  This website allows students to have a place where they can practice an unlimited number of math practice questions that are aligned to the math standards.  It is a great review of the lessons being taught in the classroom and what’s even better is the program provides you with an explanation of the correct answer if your child answers incorrectly. 

To log on you will need your child's login and password. Your child's teacher sent this information home, but call or email her if you need another copy.

Go to www.ixl.com and enter your child’s login and password. Then select the grade and then the topic that you want your child to practice.  Once the program has decided your child has answered enough questions correctly, your child will be given a medal for that specific skill.  This will show both you and the teacher that the child has a good understanding of the skill.

Everyday Math (all grades):  This program provides online games that are aligned to our Everyday Math curriculum.  These games are a great way to practice a variety of math skills in a fun and engaging way.  Many of these games have been introduced in the classroom during math time and should be familiar to your children. In addition, there are parent resources on the website to help you help your child with homework.

To access help with homework, go to the main website: http://everydaymath.uchicago.edu/

To access the games for your child, go to the password-protected website and enter the login and password your child's teacher sent home. If you need this information again, please contact your child's teacher. http://em-ccss.everydaymathonline.com/g_login.html
