Summer Math Activities and Ideas

Picture
Keeping connected to school is very important - especially in math.  I have talked to many of the other gifted teachers about things they need for their students to be more successful.  One common thing I have heard is that the students have not mastered their math facts.  I will post multiple websites and resources over the summer.

Xtramath.org. is a FREE website that parents can use.  The students work on it for five to ten minutes a day.  It starts with basic facts and moves the students through subtraction, multiplication and division.  Great resource!  Students should do every day!

Cristina School District has published activities for "rising second graders." I perused the website and found two things that would be helpful. The first has printable worksheets.  The second is a "math and technology days of summer" activity calendar.  I love this!  It gives the kids something to cross over every day!

Common Core Sheets is a FREE worksheet 
"factory" that will help keep your kids practicing math skills.  You can sort by grade and topic inside of math.  This is great for your whole family! 
Tenmarks.com has summer tutoring programs for kids online.
