Reflex Math

I am happy to let you know that the kids are now all enrolled in their new Reflex Math classes.  On Monday, September 24th each 4th grade class will be going to the computer lab to get their Reflex Math passwords, and play their first Reflex session of the school year.

For parents that are new to Reflex Math, this internet based program is an excellent resource that we have been provided to assist students in mastering their math facts.  The kids absolutely love it.  The students will go to the computer lab once a week for 30 minutes to do Reflex Math, and some weeks will get a second opportunity at school using the classroom computers.  We are also asking that the students complete Reflex Math twice a week at home.  In order for Reflex Math to be the most beneficial for kids it needs to be used 3 or 4 times a week.  There is a link to Reflex on this blog, and the URL is http://www.reflexmath.com/.

It is very important that only the assigned student play on their Reflex account.  The program gives the kids fluency tests, and keeps track of which facts the kids are fluent in, and the ones they need more help on.  As much as that sweet 2nd grade sibling might want to get a jump on their multiplication facts; using their older sibling’s Reflex account is not the way to do it.  Thank you so much for your help.
