Whilst on my last professional experience, I was introduced to the website 'mathletics' where students were able to engage with others from throughout the country and the world to solve mathematical equations and work through tasks that supported their unit of work. This website at http://www.mathletics.com.au/, was fantastic as my mentor used it to monitor students homework completion, as homework was set on this program to encourage students to continue to study outside of the classroom. This was reflected on everyday in the lessons to ensure that students were participating.
Although Mathletics was only available to schools that have purchased the rights to use it, this was a great way to keep students engaged in learning inside of the classroom and outside of the classroom. Students who completed their work in class early were able to continue to use this program as a form of reward, as all activities were enjoyable and fun.
