While summer is still going strong, there’s an opportunity to take slow and easy steps to ready your child’s mind for the next year of school.
Find Math Everywhere
Whether you’re heading to the grocery store, cooking or baking, planning a vacation, or redecorating a room, there is math involved. By simply engaging in a conversation about numbers and their relation to whatever you’re doing, you'll get those wheels turning.Better yet, show your children how math applies practically to life. For example, the next time you’re setting out to the grocery store, hand your kids clipboards and pencils and give them a spending limit. Give yourself plenty of extra time and have them help you stay under budget, track your spending, and make purchasing decisions.
