Year 2 - Mathletics Explained - 3rd November 2017

First of all well done to everyone who attempted the holiday home learning.  We managed 26 certificates between us during the holidays.  That meant 26 marbles in the Jar.  Extra superhero points were earned for big totals achieved as well.
I have had a few queries about the Mathletics points scoring system.  Points are scored by completing tasks and answering live mathletics questions.  These points are totaled on the rocket on the left of the screen.  This rocket will reset every MONDAY.  You have one week to try to earn 1000 points (you can score more, but there will only be one certificate each week).   In the half term holidays you had the opportunity to earn three certificates because you had the first weekend (1), Monday to Sunday (2) and the final Monday of the holidays.  Well done to those who managed it!
Bronze, Silver and Gold certificates are available. 

Certificates

20 consistent weeks of work = 1 Gold Certificate

Certificates are granted when a student earns 1000 points or more within one week. This encourages students to complete a healthy amount of work each week and rewards students for every week they practice. Students initially earn a Bronze Certificate, then a Silver Certificate once five Bronzes have been earned. With four Silver Certificates, a student then receives the much-coveted Gold Certificate, demonstrating their long-term commitment and developing ability.

There are some new awards that we will begin giving out next week to keep children motivated! 

 A couple of people have reported having difficulty logging on to Mathletics with the up to date version of flash player.  I will contact the Mathletics team to see if they can shed any light on this.
