MATH TUTORING FOR STUDENTS GRADES 7-10

Homework Help & School Support has arrived!

The Ministry of Education and the Toronto District School Board have partnered to expand an exciting free online initiative to support all students registered in grades 7-10 at TDSB schools.

Do you have a child registered in grades 7-10 who struggles to understand how to find slope? Maybe your teenager is struggling with ratios? Extra help is now available.

Free Online Math Tutoring Available
In the evening, your child can get math support at Homework Help (https://homeworkhelp.ilc.org). Your child can now log in to Homework Help Sunday-Thursday, 5:30pm to 9:30pm, for one-on-one math tutoring. There are interactive discussion rooms for each grade where students can view a current lesson, watch tutors draw on the whiteboard — and then type their own question.

Other math resources on the Homework Help website include videos of teachers leading students through the 20 most commonly asked math problems, interactive math tutorials and highlights of best sessions. All students have a virtual locker, where their work is saved in video format for viewing anytime.

Free Online Curriculum Resources Available To Support Students
The Ontario Educational Resource Bank is also available to support your child. This databank houses thousands of math resources, including computer activities, lessons, along with tests and quizzes. You may search for resources by grade, subject/course, strand, overall expectations, resource type and/or keywords.

In order for your child to participate in this unique tutoring program, PARENTAL CONSENT must be given. All students in grades 7-10 will be given consent forms and information letters. Parents must indicate and return whether or not their child will participate in this Online Math Tutoring experience.

Stay Informed…
Check out TDSB Math Matters. This resource is dedicated to keeping teachers and parents informed about what is happening to support students involved in the Homework Help.

Letters to our senior division will be sent out Tuesday November 15, 2011.
We look forward to having our students participate in this experience.

Happy Monday Fern Falcons!  And Happy Earth Day.  We will have a running club, open to students of all ages, every Friday morning, from 8:30-9:00am, around the track.  Kindergarten students must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Children in other grades are welcome to drop in and join us, and then will be dismissed when regular yard duty begins at 9:00am.  This is a club, and not a team, there will be no tryouts, there will be no meet/competition. We will be running for ourselves and promoting movement, the joy of running, and healthy habits.  Feel free to join us. Our first running club date will be Friday, May 3rd.  Cheers,  Mrs. Heller and Madame Miya
