Math at Home Here are some interesting and fun ways to practice math at home: [|xtramath] is a wonderful website that allows your son/daughter to practice addition, subtraction, multiplication and division facts at their grade level.The website also allows parents to print off data sheets to keep track of their son/daughters progress. I use Xtramath to help my class learn their facts. I created an account for each student in my classroom and then taught them how to login. The process is very simple and best of all, it is free. The website tracks student progress. I find the data I receive from this website to be very helpful. It gives me a very good understanding of my students progress. The website also informs me about the frequency that students are logging on to practice their facts. media type="custom" key="24097238" An [|interactive] website that uses games to help teach math concepts.
