Happy Summer!
Get ready to discover math all around you this summer!
Just as students benefit from reading throughout the summer, it is important to engage them in mathematical experiences. Research shows that students better maintain and strengthen their math skills through regular and meaningful practices. We also hope that child will have fun thinking and working collaboratively to communicate math ideas.
On this site, you will find a number of resources: the Brookline Math Department's summer math calendar, activities to do with your child, games (to be played ON and OFF line), apps available from the Apple/iTunes App Store, math-related book, and more. Start exploring!
The expectation is that each child will complete 20 activities per month, whether it's a game, a math-related conversation at home, or even reading a math related book. Students should submit their work either colored in on the Brookline Summer Math calendar or complete the alternate calendar. The alternate calendar can also be submitted electronically at: [email protected]
Remember: get your child thinking and talking. The most important question you can ask your child is "how do you know?"
Sincerely,
The Kindergarten and First Grade Teams
