What is Mathletics?

Mathletics is a web based interactive maths learning platform that can be accessed from home or from school.  Each child receives a username and password which gives them unlimited access to the site until the end of 2010 or until they leave our school.

There are 2 modes in which you can play Mathletics:

1.      Live Mathletics – this is where you play against children from other countries. There are a series of fact like problems that children have to solve as quickly and accurately as possible.

2.      Maths Curriculum Activities – each teacher can set specific math activities for your child to complete before they are able to go onto Live Mathletics.  These activities are designed to be at your child’s maths level and to address specific needs to in-class learning.
