Have fun with math this summer!

As the school year comes to a close, it's important to continue math learning through the summer. Many children experience "summer slide", losing 1.8 months of math skills during summer break,1 and return to school in the fall having lost academic knowledge.

That's why we're providing access to DreamBox Learning Math throughout the summer. DreamBox offers an adaptive, engaging learning environment that keeps kids interested and motivated for success, as well as reports that keep you up-to-date with your child's progress. Access DreamBox at home, at your local library, or anywhere in between, all you need is an Internet connection.

PARTICIPATE IN OUR SCHOOL'S SUMMER MATH CHALLENGE!

Example: This summer we're challenging each student to complete 2 lessons in DreamBox, 3 times per week until, August 1. If they are able to complete this goal, they will be honored at a ceremony and an ice cream party at the beginning of the school year.

What a great way to start the dinner conversation: "So, in DreamBox you were working with Snap Blocks ..."

Incorporate DreamBox into your summer schedule-- it's easy! ? Have your child complete a

lesson before he or she can play outside. ? Challenge your child to complete as many lessons as possible while you're preparing dinner. ? Flying to a summer destination? Have your child play while you're waiting at the terminal.

Being able to convert any activity into a math game is easier than you might think. These suggested activities will not only help your child avoid the "summer slide," you'll also enjoy your time together while school's out!

Indoor Activity - Play a game that requires strategy, patterns, or numbers, such as sudoku, checkers, or Yahtzee.

Outdoor Activity - On the sidewalk, draw a hopscotch board and place math facts in each box instead of numbers. As your child lands on the box, have them give the answer.

Everyday Activities - At the grocery store, have your child decide which products are a better deal. - When riding in the car, have your child count the number of out-of-state license plates.
