Moby Max
This year we are implementing a new computer program in what used to be the SME lab. This year we will be using MOby Max. This program is a five day program. The students will begin each lesson by doing 5 minutes the Speed Games program which is the same as last year, and then complete about 20 minutes of the Moby Max lessons in the order presented below. The mastery for each lesson will be set at 90%. Students will repeat a lesson if they struggled with a particular skills.
Moby Max program is correlated with the New Illinois Learning Standards. We will be using the program to support the student learning of these new standards throughout the school year.
This year we are using the program to help us monitor student growth throughout the school year. We would love for students to use the program at home as well; HOWEVER, we are asking that families set up their own account at home so it does not adjust the scores and lessons we set up at school.
Moby Max is a free program to sign up and use at home and very easy to do. If you would like help setting up your own account at home please call and I can guide you through the process.
Thank you for your understanding in not using the school’s Moby Max account at home with your child. This will be a great help for us at school in monitoring student work and student growth. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
Speed Games
According to the New Illinois State Standards students are expected to master (3 seconds per problem) their addition and subtraction math facts. It is encouraged to work on addition and subtraction math facts at home throughout the week to build these math fact skills.
