Believe it or not

Believe it or not, your children may actually increase their reading skills over the long summer vacation. But it’s a different story in math. Your children’s skill level can go down by as much as two months. This is one of the main reasons that every school year begins with close to six weeks of review of what was taught the previous year.

Obviously, the more math that your children do this summer, the sharper their math skills will be when they return to school. If they need some help with basic math skills, go to our website and search for that skill (addition, subtraction, multiplication, etc.)

Make Math Fun for Kids

We constantly hear that students in America just aren’t very good in math when compared to students in other countries. The experts ascribe it to such things as a weak  curriculum, teachers with little math training and textbooks that are all breadth and no depth. These things may or may not be true in your children’s school.

Let’s talk about why your own children are doing well or poorly in math. We have one suggestion about ways to get children more engaged and enthused about math. It is rather simple – help them have fun with math. You can find some interesting math activities on our website.
