Summer Math Practice

Dear parents and students,

To prevent the "summer slide", working on just a few problems daily during the summer can help students close the gaps in their math skills, preserve what they learned during the previous school year, and prepare for the challenging school year ahead. They can take up daily challenges that they must complete. Engaging in summer math practice can be highly beneficial for students in several ways. Here are some reasons why summer math practice is advantageous:

• Preventing the loss of academic skills and knowledge during the summer break. 

• Consistent practice helps students maintain a positive attitude toward learning. 

• Summer math practice allows students to reinforce their understanding of key concepts and skills. 

• Summer is an excellent time for students to address any weaknesses or gaps in their understanding of mathematical concepts. 

• Summer math practice often involves self-directed learning. This independence in learning fosters a sense of responsibility for their education and helps develop important problem-solving and critical-thinking skills.

• For students who will be moving on to more advanced math courses in the upcoming school year, summer practice can provide a head start. 

• Embracing challenges and viewing mistakes as opportunities for learning are key aspects of a growth mindset. 

"A little progress each day adds up to big results."

Have a wonderful summer!
