Dreambox is an amazing resource paid for by ROISD. It is a highly adaptive program that targets your student's weakest areas and challenges them to grow in their mathematical skills. Practice on Dreambox often for maximum benefit. Each lesson usually takes 15 -20 minutes.
This website helps parents understand the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) that their students are currently studying (See Math page on this website for current TEKS)
Quizlet is the program I use to teach students the vocabulary words for the units we have studied. When your students are watching Youtube videos, make sure they are "filtering" them through View Pure. You can also shorten or edit the video by copying, pasting and hitting the settings "flower" next to the address. This will be a purified, shortened version of the video clip.
XtraMath is a free program to help students learn their multiplication facts. Our 4th grade class goal is to have 90% of students know their multiplication facts with 90% accuracy. If your student is weak in fact fluency, Xtramath should be a daily practice.
I have purchased a teacher's subscription to Education Galaxy for all my students. This program is similar to Dreambox, but it will also allow me to assign specific TEKS to each student to reinforce what we are learning in the classroom. |
