IXL

IXL 

Have you ever had a hard time doing math or practicing it? 

If you have, the website IXL will help you greatly improve in topics and other things that are part of math. IXL is a website that our school uses for homework and to help us improve in our math. There is a wide variety of topics to choose from. Some topics in the sixth grade area are whole numbers, multiply and divide decimals, algebra, exponents, square roots, and measurement. There is a ton of other topics too. This is what IXL is if you don't know. 

Now I will tell you about doing one of the skills. When you press on a skill on any of the topics, there will be problems for you to solve. While you are doing it, there is a timer to see how long it takes you to do the skill. There is also a scoreboard that tells you what your score is. Your score goes up every time you have a right answer. If you get it wrong, your score goes down. I always try to get 100% because you get a medal. This is what happens when you are doing a skill. 

Next, I will tell you about the awards section of the website. In the awards section, there are achievements or awards that you get whenever you do a certain amount of skills or when you go on for a certain amount of time. Each grade has a whole new set of new awards to get. The cool part of the awards section is that the picture that you are awarded can become your picture of your profile. 

Finally, I will tell you about the IB learner profile that you use while going on IXL. You become THINKERS. You are thinkers in this website because you have to use what you know to solve problems. You sometimes have to use critical-thinking skills because once you get to the 80-100% area, the problems get hard. This is how you are thinkers in this website.
