Summer Math

Rising 1st to 4th Grade Students: MATH BINGO CHALLENGE

Math is all around us. Use this summer to help your children see and use math as often as possible. Help your children solidify their math facts. We strive for automaticity in addition, subtraction, and multiplication. Use a deck of playing cards, shuffle it, and have them practice adding the cards. Shuffle again and have them subtract the smaller card from the larger card. You can do the same activity with dice. For students rising into 4th grade, challenge them to memorize their multiplication tables all the way to the 13s.

We will email and post on our website a variety of possible math challenges - 9 of them over the summer. These challenges will include number sense, estimation, logic, measurement, and geometry. There will be Easier problems for our younger students Harder problems for our older students.

Keeping with our summer theme, rising 1st - 4th grade students can complete this BINGO Card (click below or pdf in side menu to download and print). When students return in September, we will celebrate those who have completed 6 or more of the challenges by presenting their completed Bingo card to their teachers.

Rising 5th to 8th Grade Students: IXL SUMMER BOOST Math Program

To best sustain all of the math skills your students have learned and practiced over the past year, the faculty has decided on the IXL "Summer Boost Math Program" for students rising into grades 5-8. IXL Summer Boost aligns with the math we teach in the elementary and early Middle School Grades. The program allows students to answer skill-specific problems and learn from their errors. Your children are familiar with the program and already have usernames and passwords.

The “Summer Boost Math Program” is designed for students to complete in four weeks. Each week is broken down into 5 days ~ for 20 total days. However, there are plenty of weeks between now and the end of August to complete the program as it fits into your summer plans. Students should focus on spending 10-15 minutes a day on the program. There is a timer on the page to help them know how long they have been working. The goal is for students to achieve a SmartScore of 85. If your child gets stuck, each problem has suggestions at the bottom of the page.
