Ixl Math

Description

A popular online Math supplement is now available in a colorful, economical, workbook format. Presented at grade level, topical workbooks cover K through 8th grade—so students can supplement any math program and strengthen math skills independently. Workbooks are colorful, engaging, and include equations, activities, word problems, Exploration Zones, and Challenge areas. Instructions are written to grade level; students in kindergarten will draw, count, and match while a student in 6th grade will work through equations and word problems. Answers are in the back of each workbook for self-grading or quick grading needs. Periodically throughout the workbook you will find prompting for the IXL digital platform. This online platform is not necessary for the workbook’s completion, but provides additional, scripted, interactive, practice for students. There are two different types of workbooks to choose from that target math skills for differing student needs.

The Ultimate Workbooks cater to grade level skills (K-8th grade). These are workbooks that cover all math skills students at a specific grade level will cover in their academic year.  The Ultimate Workbook will help align student’s skills to state standards and help assess math concept understanding. These provide excellent additional practice to come alongside any math curriculum to fortify grade level specific instruction.

The Topical Workbooks are presented in grade appropriate topical skills. Spanning targeted skills from kindergarten to 5th grade—pick up the topic that needs specialized practice. Topical Workbooks are great when there is a specific skill that students are weak in that needs intentional, tailored, practice. Each grade level has a handful of skills to target through topical practice. ~Rebecca
