Dear Division 4 Families,
I created a class on Sum Dog which is a free math website which offers games for students to play to practice math skills. There are also some grammar and spelling games. Some students may have had the opportunity to try this website during centres with the Grade 3 class already (before Spring Break). I created an account for each student. It’s optional if you would like your child to try it out. When they start out, my understanding is that they need to complete an “assessment” to see what level they are at with their math skills. I have tried to set filters so that the assessment questions are on grade-level material, however the system may provide questions that are way above grade level. Please tell your child to just click a random answer so they can go on to the next question and that I don’t expect them to know this material and that the computer is just trying to figure out the grade-level that they are currently at based off what they are able to answer.
- Go to the website https://pages.sumdog.com
- Click Login, you will be asked to enter the username and password as well as the school code. The school code is lyndhurst2019. Usernames and passwords for each child will be sent out to parents following this post.
- Complete the initial “assessment” and get started with playing games!
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I will do my best to answer them, however this is the first time I have used this for a class, so I am still working to figure everything out!
Take care,
Ms. Chin
