                                        ✨ Unlocking Maths Success With IXL Online Learning✨

At St John’s, we are continuously looking for ways to support our students in developing strong mathematical skills both at school and at home. Currently, students are trialing the online Maths program IXL in Term 3 and Term 4.

 IXL is an engaging platform that allows students to practise key mathematical skills at their own pace. It provides immediate feedback, tailored recommendations, and step-by-step support to help strengthen understanding.

One of the great advantages of IXL is that it can also be accessed at home. This means students can continue practising the strategies they are learning in class, further boosting their confidence and improving learning outcomes. Even a few minutes of IXL practice each day can make a big difference!

Using IXL at home is a wonderful way to complement classroom learning. Even short, regular practice sessions can make a big difference in improving accuracy, strengthening problem-solving skills, and boosting overall learning outcomes. The interactive format helps students stay engaged and motivated, while instant feedback allows them to learn from mistakes straight away.

We encourage families to make use of IXL as part of their child’s home learning routine. By practising Maths at home with IXL, students can reinforce classroom concepts, fill gaps in their understanding, and continue to grow as confident, capable mathematicians. 

💡 Parent Tips for Using IXL at Home

• 🕒 Keep it short – 10–15 minutes a few times a week is enough to make a real difference.
• 💬 Talk it through – Ask your child to explain how they solved a problem. This deepens understanding.

• 🎯 Focus on progress – Celebrate effort and improvement, not just getting it right.
• 🔁 Revisit tricky skills – Encourage your child to practise areas they find challenging to build confidence.
• 🌟 Make it routine – Set a regular time for IXL practice to build consistency.ans but also flexible thinkers!

Please reach out to your child's teacher or myself if you would like the login details for your child to access IXL from home. We look forward to seeing how IXL helps our students grow in their mathematical thinking and problem-solving skills.
