Quia Notes :]

To get on to Quia you go to Edline.www.reading.k12.ma.us and sign in,next you go to classes and shortcuts. Then go to Pre algebra hexagons. Under links you will find the link that says "Quia." It will bring you right to the games if you click on it. The first game link is a Java games and there are many games under that link there are matching flashcards and concentration, Be sure to know the category's each game is under! There's a variety of games and this is a good way to study in a fun way.

One fun game is Rags to Riches. Its similar to who wants to be a million air. When you get one question wrong you start over so its a good idea to write all the correct answers on a sheet so when you come back to it you know its right and you can "win" 1 million dollars. Another game is the challenge board. This is similar to Jeopardy. You can play 2 player or single player. You type in your names then you click on number of points you want under the category you want and see which player can get more points.

Another really fun game is concentration. Concentration and matching are very similar. You have to know the question and answer then you have to try to math it with the least amount of trys as possible. This isn't a game where you should click around try to write down the problems and the answer so if you find the answer on the game board you can find the match.

Another important thing Quia helps with is adding and subtracting positive and negative numbers. You have to remember if the greater number in the problem is positive the answer is positive. If the greater number is negative the answer is going to be a negative number.
