It's hard to believe that the final week of school before the winter break is already here! We have so many exciting events happening at school this week: music in the halls, the Hanukkah concert, a Yachad assembly, and some fun math and science activities too!
Of course, there will be no math or science homework given over the winter break. However, some grade six students are still keen to practice their times tables. Last week, the students in 6B and 6A found some great websites that allow them to practice these skills in a fun way. Many students were working really hard to increase their score or try more challenging problems. It was wonderful to see their motivation!
Here are three websites that could help your child practice their times tables for 5-10 minutes any time they have access to the internet.

This website is the simplest. Students have one minute to solve as many basic facts as they can. I encourage students to try again to beat their previous score!
This website has a lot of options. Students can choose to practice multiplication, division, addition or subtraction. They can choose how difficult the questions will be and how much time they have to complete them. It's very customizable!
Math Magician is great for targeted practice of a certain fact family. You can choose to work on your 8 times tables for one activity, then try the 6's, or even have a mix.

I hope you and your family have a wonderful and restful winter break and I look forward to seeing all the students back at school for an exciting 2015!
