Must do for us and kid must keep track of time played.... he is at petals and other stuff that is supposed to be place value, but all different objects. I don’t get it, they can’t even move the objects to sort them so it is not getting at the skills kids need because it is too much to keep track of. He keeps saying he is “dying” and then starting over at the same level so he gives up and goes outside to play with the dog.

Wow, I don't think computer games should be required!! In your situation, I might bring this up with the principal and say you were hoping for real math instruction and not games.

These math games are not in lieu of real math instruction. They are in addition to. Actually, a replacement to math homework.

It's public school. It's not an al a carte menu.

It's on the optional side of my child's task board.

Actually, since they require our signature permitting them to access these 'extras," it is in fact a la carte menu.

Permission is not needed for ST Math, Imagine Learning, etc.

That's terrible!

My second grader did not start with the petals. He is placing points in a number line. There was no pretext so it’s not like he did poorly to get assigned this. So maybe petals is 3 and above?

STMath is at least four bajilkion times better than Prodigy. So glad FCPS pulled their approval of that one.

The link clearly states petals are grade 1. Your teacher must have actually manually set her class to start at a better level.

+1. Petals are obviously first grade work.

That's ... not terrible. When the existing math homework is 0. Did you misread?

I would consider my kid have real math homework than have to play a stupid computer game that she's getting nothing out of.

The little kids don't get homework anymore. Some of the bigger kids don't get homework anymore either.

During DL, no kids get homework anymore.

Mine do, just not assigned by FCPS.

Finally, after 3 hrs of the number line section (getting 99.9% right), the penguin finished all the boxes (green checks on all) but there is no way to get him on land. Every time you try it just repeats the last box. My kid is about to explode. He was so excited to finally get to move on to something a little less mind numbing. He has done it 4x now - all right answers (he has memorized them that this point) and it is an endless loop.

The petals get stuck too. I think it’s glitchy.
