Math in the Summer?   Absolutely!

Summer is here and we have a nice long break until September 7th.  Kids who do some math work over the summer will be ready to go in the fall.  Just a little time each week playing on the math sites below or reading one of the books suggested here, will help kids to keep concepts fresh.  Don’t forget that all of the things that you do like cooking, planning trips, finding the best deal on groceries, playing card and board games and playing sports all involve math as well!

Happy Summer!
