Mathletics

Thanks to all those parents who turned up to learn about Mathletics tonight. We are lucky to have had Kiri at school to teach teachers and parents about the benefits of Mathletics. Click on the link to find out more. A note is going home on Thursday about it, so look out for it. At the bottom of the note your class teacher will record a log in name and password so they can access it for free for two weeks. The cost per child will be $22 for the rest of the year. This will allow your child to access the programme online 24/7. Pod 4 used this last year and there were huge benefits for the children in the pod in basic fact speed and recall, motivation and skill level. The children loved it because it is so interactive, challenging, rewarding and there are lots of incentives such as certificates, avatars etc. Wanaka Primary would like as many children as possible with a log in so they can use it at home and at school. It works out $2.20 per month ( half the price of a coffee!). You will not be disappointed. A second notice will go out next week so that you can purchase this lisence. Make sure you get this in by Tuesday 1 April as this will be the cut off date. Take advantage of this lower price as it is usually $99!
