Ten Marks

I am very excited to be utilizing a great website called TenMarks
Every student in my classroom has their own login and password.
I just tell the website that I am a second grade teacher and they create tons of different assessments/activities for my students, based on what we learn in second grade.


This is the letter that goes home to explain the program. The program is FREE and awesome. Two of my favorite things! :)

Dear Parent,
I am happy to inform you that we will be using a new online supplemental math program - TenMarks, which
will provide _________ with additional math practice.
TenMarks is an online program that enables students to practice and master math concepts - one topic at a
time. They can work on direction from the teacher, or choose to practice on their own, anytime. While they
are practicing, TenMarks helps them with hints on every problem if they get stuck, and gives them short
video tutorials to view if they need an explanation - really helping them grasp the concept they are working
on.
I have set up each student with their own individual account, and loaded the math curriculum for their grade
into TenMarks. From the teacher account, I can monitor and review their progress, and assign work and give
them feedback.
There is also a reward zone for some extra motivation where they earn certificates to print out when they
master a concept, and some educational computer games they can play after they complete work.
ACCESSING TENMARKS
Students are able to access TenMarks from home to continue working on the program at their own pace. To
log in to their account, students should go to http://www.tenmarks.com and click on the red "Log In" link on
the upper right corner of the page.
Login: _______________
Password: ____________
YOUR ACCOUNT
TenMarks also allows you to stay on top of what your child is doing via your own account. You can access
your account by visiting http://www.tenmarks.com/signup/classroom_parent and using the code below.
Code: _____________
You can add up to 3 parent accounts using this code.
I just wanted to let you know that we're using this new program, which I believe will really help students
improve their math skills and confidence.
Regards
Miss Dower
