Khan Academy
In an effort to create a more personalized learning environment, we will be utilizing Khan Academy as our primary math curriculum. This educational platform produces lessons and activities for students of all ages to move at their own pace through the curriculum. Students will have Mr. Lemere as their "coach" via their GAFE log-in.
Tenmarks
Tenmarks is a great assessment program that aligns with the common core. Students will occasionally have graded homework assignments on this platform. Their log-in information will be given to them in class.
Timed Division and Multiplication Quizzes
During the first quarter, we will have a weekly quiz of 100 multiplication facts that students have 10 minutes to complete. Once they earn a "100" on this quiz, they have tested out and are no longer required to take the quiz. If they score higher on a quiz, the lower score is changed to the higher score. Students have the entire first quarter to earn a 100 on the multiplication quiz. We will do the same thing second quarter, except focus on our basic division facts (all facts are 0 to 144).

Keeping Skills Sharp
Every Friday, we will also take a Keeping Skill Sharp (KSS) quiz. This is just a simple quiz with 10 questions or less that help keep skills previously learned (from 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade) in check.
