Summer is the perfect time for people of all ages to relax, but it’s also a fantastic time for mathematicians to apply what they have learned during the school year and make mathematical connections. That's why we have some fun solutions for you and your mathematician 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 mathematician to have fun while thinking and working collaboratively to communicate mathematical ideas and apply what they have learned. The activities reflect a range of difficulty so your mathematician can choose the activities that are just right for them. Many of the activities are open-ended, so they can be made more or less challenging to match your mathematician's learning style.
It is important to ask your mathematician 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!!!
