This guide was created to make it easier for families to support their children with maintaining math skills over the summer. Practicing math skills over the summer is critical for preventing the summer slide. Integrating math practice into the daily routine, as well as spending some focused time on math practice will help set your child up for success as they start next school year. Time and resources are often a barrier to being able to practice math at home which is why the activities included in this guide are:
Integrated into everyday activities, so they don’t take much additional time and can often be done on the road, during mealtime or throughout the daily routine. This also helps children understand that math is part of the real world. These real-world examples make math more meaningful and build conceptual understanding.
Low cost: The materials needed for all activities are materials you likely have around your home, or can be purchased at a low price, or borrowed. For example, playing cards, a dice, paper, pencil, various food items. Most of the books included in the ‘read aloud’ section are available at local libraries.
Low Prep, High Impact: The conversation starters, activities, books and games listed in this guide are high-interest activities that will engage your child in meaningful math practice, while not taking much advanced time for you to prepare.
