On October 18, Roosevelt parents were invited to the computer lab to try Jiji Math for themselves.  Fifth grade teacher Mr. Williams walked the parents through the steps to get logged in and showed everyone how fun and effective Jiji is at teaching the students math concepts.

 

In the weeks to come, teachers may be assigning your students Jiji “homework” so that they can practice at home.  Mr. Williams stressed that parents are not to help their child if they get stuck on a level.  The teachers will receive data about your child’s time online and it’s important for them to see if your child is struggling with a concept so that they can give them extra help at school.

If you have internet access and your child receives a Jiji homework assignment, please make sure that they log on.  Jiji Math can be done on both PCs and Macs.

Instructions:

1. Enter stmath.com in the address line of your web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox or Safari are recommended).
2. Click on JiJi, the penguin.
3. Only if this is the first time logging in at home, you will be asked to enter this homework activation code:
ROO79A-HS9-ZE-TRG
4. Click “I agree.”
5. Click “Allow local data storage.”
6. Your student will then see the familiar screen with JiJi. He or she needs to click JiJi and enter the password exactly as in school. If there are no unplayed games visible, click the button at the bottom of the screen with the green cones to access games previously passed.
7. After playing, the student should always use the back-arrow button on the bottom-left of the screen (just like at school) to exit the program and ensure that progress is saved.

If you encounter technical difficulties, please contact your school or teacher for assistance. MIND Research Institute is not responsible for technical support of the home use component.
