This math practices were created to provide your child and your family with a variety of math activities to use this summer.
Inside this packet you will find three bingo cards with math activities to try at home. The goal is for you child to have fun while thinking and communicating about mathematical ideas. There are a range of activities so that your child may choose activities that match their interests and abilities While working on these activities, help your child to learn to talk about mathematical practices by asking them how he/she found a solution and why he/she chose a particular strategy.
This packet contains 3 bingo cards (June, July, and August) and an alternate summer math calendar that allows you to fill in your own activities. Each bingo card has 24 activities. You can choose which activities you and your child would like to complete on whichever day you want. We encourage your child to complete 15-20 boxes per month. Our recommendation is to integrate an average of 15-20 minutes a day of math activities. Return the signed calendars to your child’s new teacher in August.
Students who return their bingo cards will be invited to a special celebration in the fall.
