New Math website (Mini revision tests)

Dear children,

I have put up a new website at the resource webpage in the Math folder under 'Mini Revision Tests'. This new folder consists of websites which have short tests on the various topics that all of you have learnt so far. If a box pops up, just click on 'Continue as guest'. Click 'Submit' after you have finished each question.

Remember to use the Habits of Mind: 'Striving for Accuracy', 'Applying past knowledge into new situation' and 'Persisting' as you are doing the test questions.

The web link is also given here: http://www.ixl.com/math/grade/first/

The Doctor discovers someone has been stealing big "blocks" of ocean water and sets out to find them back. There are 5 parts to this cartoon. Enjoy it!
