MATIFIC

 

All students in the school have been using an online maths program called MATIFIC. Every student has their own individual login and password which has been shared with them.  The logins can be found in the students' reading diaries or homework books. They are encouraged to use this at home and use the Adventure Island or Training Zone.  Some students will also have homework set by their teacher in the assigned work section.  The Adventure Island is adaptive and will set work harder or easier based on student responses and tailor the questions to their needs. It is therefore important that when working on Adventure Island that your child works independently.

All you need to play the game is a dice.  Please see the video below that explains how to play the game and give it a go with your children.
