Vmath

Yesterday I logged onto Vmath in the classroom to show the kiddos what it's like. Previously in the year, I sent home your child's user name and password so that you can log on from your home computer to play math games. I will be sending another copy of that log in information this Friday in the Friday folder.

Vmath is a great way to practice the skills we have been working on in class and students can also create an Avatar character to look like them. There are activities relating to different math concepts we work on and kids can also play Vmath Live which allows them to play against another child who is logged on somewhere else in the world. These activities would especially be great to utilize over the winter break.

Here are some brief directions about how to log on.

In your browser search VMath and click the first link that comes up.
It should be http://www.vmathlive.com/.

Then, use the log in information (user name is your child's name after the #24, password is your child's school ID number) to sign in.

The main page looks like this:

The purple bars have the following math categories:

Under the category "Knowing Numbers and Patterns" the game called "Order Numbers to 10" is a great one to practice number order.

 I showed the kiddos several of the games in class and they were excited to try it out at home. 

Please let me know if you have any questions or trouble logging on. I did a short workshop for parents last year to go over how it all works and I am happy to do that again if you'd like some more information.

Have fun!
