January 12, 2017 - The 8th Grade Math classes proudly announce the winner of our monthly Khan Academy contest. Arturo Rico has won the points competition for the second month in a row! This contest period started on December 7th and ended on January 8th. Congratulations Arturo!
Our next monthly contest runs from January 9th to February 8th. Please encourage our 8th graders to earn those points through independent, diagnostically driven math practice on their 8th grade level concepts!
To encourage our 8th graders to practice on their own, as they have time available, students are able to build points towards the monthly contest as they work on their mathematics mastery. The highest point winner each month wins a $10.00 WalMart gift card. The point totals are filtered for each month, so previously earned points are not included in the winning tabulation.
Tablets are available for student use every morning and Monday-Thursday after school. Additionally, students have access during Tiger Tutorials each school day. Khan Academy can also be accessed from any computer or smart phone off campus!
There’s even a Khan Academy app available for tablets and smartphones. If students can manage 30 minutes of Khan Academy practice per day, their math foundational skills will grow considerably.
