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 have compiled some resources to support your child's transition from 3rd to 4th grades. The ultimate goal is that your child will have fun thinking and working collaboratively to communicate mathematical 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 (on and off-line), apps available from the Apple App store, math-related books, 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 Fourth and Fifth Grade Teams
