Now that school is almost back in session again, it's good to get the kids geared up with a little review. My grandson has been doing different math reviews during the summer. Somewhere on a news blurb I heard that a child loses at least half of what they learned the previous year! With that in mind, I made sure each day we did something that incorporated math. Cooking (fractions), cutting our sandwich at lunchtime into 1/2, quarters, and of course pizza is always a winner when it comes to fractions (plus you get to eat part of the lesson lol.) Baking taught other fractions and measurements, and I had him check the outdoor thermometer every day. These were a lot of the things that he had in his lessons last year, so I wanted to make sure we did some things that showed him how important math is in our everyday lives.
We also worked on addition and subtraction, not single digits, but 2 and 3 digit problems, so he could keep refreshed on borrowing. We're halfway through the multiplication tables, simply because he wanted to get started on them.
Free Printable Math Worksheets
This is a really helpful website I found, and they have all kinds of printables that are really handy to print out at home...and they're themed too. There are worksheets for each grade, one through five. I picked the 'winter theme' for a landing page...what kid doesn't like thoughts of snow! There's addition, subtraction, single digit problems, double and triple digit problems, word problems. In the higher grades they cover multiplication, division, and working with decimals. They even have a handy multiplication table you can print out too.
There's also sections here on geography, preschool, kindergarten, science and language arts. Take a look around, and be sure to bookmark it for the school year, or to get started on refresher before they go back to school!
