Stopping the Summer Slide

Summer is the perfect time for students of all ages to relax, but it’s also a time when summer learning loss can occur. This learning loss is called the “summer slide,” and happens when children do not engage in educational activities during the summer months. Luckily, there’s a lot you can do—and it doesn’t have to be a drag, either. Summers are for fun, and that’s why we have some fun solutions for you and your child to work on together.

You will find a variety of mathematical activities to try at home by clicking on the different links below. The goal is for your child to have fun while thinking and working collaboratively to communicate mathematical ideas. The activities reflect a range of difficulty with the intent that your child can choose the activities that are at a “just right” level. Many of the activities are open-ended enough so that they can be made easier or more difficult to suit your child's learning style. Several of the activities also span several grades or can be modified to span several grades so that if your child can work on these activities with sibling and friends that may be heading into a different grade level.

It is important to ask your child how he found a solution or why she chose a particular strategy while working on these activities. Be sure to enjoy the mathematics and discover the math all around you!!!
