First In Math



First in Math is a fun, challenging program offered to all students at Indian Hill. Every student at Indian Hill has a First In Math User ID and password. If you are in my math class and you have misplaced your user name and password, please see me and I will give you yours. If your child has not played First in Math at home yet, I encourage you to have them play. It is a great review of basic facts and KNOW AND SHOW section offers a nice review for state testing. Below is a description of the program from the website. 


The backbone of the First In Math® Online Program is the 24® GAME—a classroom staple since 1988. Online games range from Addition to multi-step Algebra, and are organized into SKILL SETS®. Each Skill Set is comprised of three sequential 24 Games, labeled 1, 2 and 3. Each game builds upon the skills acquired in previous games. 
A Pre-test/Post-test module called JUST THE FACTS records each student’s proficiency with basic facts, so you will never have to check another fact sheet! Includes assessment of each student’s skill improvement.
Three KNOW & SHOW modules provide a unique way for students to experience the type of problems found in standardized tests. Students solve problems from nine categories that tie to national standards. 

WORKOUT GYMS build automaticity with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division facts, and progress to include fractions, decimals and integers. 

After completing certain Skill Set requirements, students can play BONUS GAMES. Serving as incentives that encourage students to continue to achieve, these games offer various types of skill-building activities, such as sequencing and working with tens. Bonus Games are targeted to skills students need to master at each grade level, based on national standards. 
MEASUREMENT WORLD showcases games and activities that focus on Money, Time, Length, Distance, Area, Volume and Weights.
