Mathletics!

Today, you will practice your math facts on Mathletics.  You may spend no more than 15 minutes playing Live Mathletics.  I want you to spend the balance of your class time (15 to 20 minutes) playing with the different Topics under Activities.  You will be able to practice in a number of areas of math by doing so.
I will give you pencil and paper so that you can write down your user name and password.  Click on the link to the right "2nd Graders Mathletics Logins".   Then click on the link to the Mathletics website:
