🐉 🏆 Green Dragon High Achievers! 🐉 🏆 XtraMath is an online math fact fluency program that helps students develop quick recall and automaticity of their basic math facts. All students start with the addition math facts and then proceed to the next operation by reaching a mastery score of 100 by answering each question correctly in six seconds or less. For students to "complete" XtraMath, they must answer all questions correctly for all four operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. We would like to congratulate Noah Perkins, Ahmad Amro, Tavian Howard, Toby Hensley, and Mia Swanson for this great accomplishment in Mrs. Jackson's class! Way to go, Dragons ! 🐉
