Frontrower program

2B is trialling a new Maths program which allows each student to work at their own level across all maths units e.g. Addition & subtraction, geometry etc. Students will first sit a mini test in each unit/domain and after that they can complete work at their level. Students are able to watch videos, use manipulatives, view how similar questions are solved and draw on the page to work each question out. Students will receive 'coins' and stars after completing work which they can purchase clothing for their pig avatar.

It is not a requirement for students to use this program at home, however I do encourage children to use it to extend their maths skills.
