Go Math:
One of the features of the K-6 Go Math program is an online site which provides home and school access to student resources for enrichment and support. To access the site go to www.Thinkcentral.com and click on mathematics on the left menu, then click on the Go Math icon center page. This will take you to pull down menus – pull down New Jersey, then Linden School District and the correct school for your child. The user name is grade level specific and will be lpsgrade(K through 6 depending on your child’s grade level) and the password will be parentmath. Log on and on the next screen click My Library which will take you directly to the proper grade and screen where you will be able to select your child’s student text, mega math (animated math adventures for students), itools (virtual manipulatives and modeling activities) and the K-6 Glossary.

Powerful yet simple-to-use, Social Studies Techbook supports teachers as they transition to digital, while simultaneously helping them to meet Common Core State Standards. Real-time assessments also enhance a teacher’s ability to individualize instruction.

- World History — Prehistory to the 1800s and the European Enlightenment. Connect ancient and modern times
