[Tuxmath-devel] TUXMATH

[D P <dlp...@ho...>]

Hey guys,

I am a grade 2 teacher and I have been using TUXMATH. In my classes I do not teach rote-learning. Instead I teach strategies and TUXMATH is a great way for them to apply the strategies in addition and subtraction that I teach.

I have my students use the training section where they start simply by typing in numbers then go things like addition 1-3 and so on. I like how it keeps track of which levels students have completed. This is a great chance for me to see how the students are doing....

The only problem is that some of the levels are really really long. For example, sums to 15 has the students doing over 200. Many students can not do enough of these during the time they have. I would say 75 is a good number.

I get the idea that the levels should get harder, but I am not sure if making the levels longer achieves this.

Is there a way for me to decrease the number the students need to complete?

Thank  you
