Each K-8 Moby Max account has been loaded with grade level content closely related to current topics being worked on in the classroom.

Khan Academy is another great resource for all grade levels. Once you create your personal account you can search their catalog of lessons. Their content is great for math, science, social studies, and SAT prep. You can sign up as a parent and then add your child to your account OR your child (13 years or older) can sign up directly. Children under 13 must be enrolled through a parent account. The advantage of signing up as a parent with an added child, is that as the parent you can monitor your child's progress in the content they work on.
We have also included some additional links that you will find helpful providing some additional enrichment activities for your children. Xtra Math helps students to work on the math facts (fact families). Setting up an account is quick and easy. The directions are below.
