Contents : Summer Math Calendar (Entering) Fourth Grade Get ready to discover math all around you this summer! Just as teachers encourage students to continue reading throughout the summer to solidify and retain reading skills we feel the same attention should be given to mathematics. Regular practice over the summer with problem solving computation and math facts will maintain and strengthen math gains made over the school year. The Math Specialists of Brookline have created this summer math calendar to provide your child and your family with a variety of math activities to explore this summer. Inside you ll find creative activities that include measuring and counting everyday objects math games riddles basic facts practice math web sites and math literature books (available through Brookline s public libraries). The activities reflect a range of difficulty with the intent that your child can choose the activities that are at a just right level. The goal is for your child to have fun thinking and working collaboratively with you while communicating his/her mathematical ideas. While you are working on these activities ask your child how he found that solution or why she chose that strategy. These activities help reinforce the concepts/skills your child learned this past year so that s/he can retain them over the summer. This packet consists of 2 calendar pages one for July and one for August an alternate summer math calendar as well as directions for math games to be played at home. (Note: a substitute for numeral cards can be a regular deck of cards without the face cards or Uno cards.) Each month s activities are organized into 28 math boxes. You can choose which activities you d like to complete on which day. We encourage your child to complete 20 math boxes each month. After completing a box color it in. In September return the calendar with your signature to your child s new teacher. We recommend that you integrate an average of 15-20 minutes of math activities into your child s day including completing the enclosed activities and reviewing basic facts. Number facts can be practiced and reinforced through repeated use in games real-life problems songs rhymes and cards. Help your child to identify FACTS I KNOW and the FACTS I AM WORKING ON. Think of regular and convenient times to review these facts such as waiting in line driving in a car riding the train reading time etc. We hope that you will enjoy the activities extend them create new ones and have fun!
