Maths - Online Extras
Dear Feathertails and Families,
With many of us currently learning at home, a few in our team have asked about online Maths resources they might be able to try for fun or extra practice. That's what this page is about.
It's important to remember, these websites aren't designed to match with our learning approach at school, or our school programs, they are listed here just as an option for those looking for some more skill-building practice or revision.
Some may be better than others too, so to help us create the best possible list of resources, please email Matt with your recommendations or requests.
Finally, if you decide you would like to try one, be sure to ask your parents permission first, and remember to keep track of how much time you're spending online.
Don't forget, our most meaningful and authentic experiences with maths happen as we engage with the beautiful world around us. So get out there.

Matific
I've only just been introduced to matific, but I've heard students saying they really enjoy it. If you'd like to give it a go, click on the picture above and log in with the class code: QRKF7Y
Prodigy
Here is a link to Prodigy, the fantasy maths game some of you have enjoyed in the past. Click on the picture above to get started.
If you've already played Prodigy, you only need your username and password in order to log in and play anywhere.
If you haven't yet set up an account, and your parents are happy for you to give it a go, just click on 'New Student', enter the class code:
97DC27 and follow the prompts to set up your account.
Note: Prodigy includes optional paid content but you don't need it to enjoy the game. Please don't bother. Keep your eye on this page instead. We'll have many more ideas coming soon ... and don't forget ... real maths is happening all around you every day. Go searching and see what you discover.
