Summer Math Challenge - Entering Grade 5

(0)
It is always a good idea for students to review taught objectives throughout the summer. Not only it is a wonderful way to fill lazy summer days, but it is also an excellent way to help children retain the skills they learned during the school year. This resource contains a suggested list of authentic activities that children can do on their own, with their friends, or family members. These activities are presented in the Activity Board where children have to select at least a total of 20 activities (two for each week of the summer vacation) to complete, and to have a grown-up initial on each box they have finished. In addition, and since play is fundamental to the well-being and the development of a child, there is among the activities a list of suggested Games that parents can play with their child, as well as Electronic Games that they can play on a computer or on a tablet. Have fun & Enjoy your vacation!
