The following adds a couple more details about Math support:

Here is a link to a document which will give math support at home.  You can scan your child's green math workbook page and it will bring up the video we watched in class. Look for the “blue eye” icon on the top left hand corner of the Visual Learning Bridge page. It works best with a tablet/iPad in order to use the interactive features.

ALSO....you can view another video, which explains the lesson further, by using the same code and scanning the front page of your child's black and white homework page (called "Additional Practice"). This page will show a video icon in the top right hand corner of the page. I don't think this video is an interactive page, so you can just use your phone to scan and watch the homework video.
