Summertime Math
Here are some ways parents can keep their children’s minds engaged and growing during the summer.  Consider keeping problem-solving and computational skills sharp with an application calledThinking Blocks.  This application teaches children how to model and solve word problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Children are introduced to six different problem-solving models. The models help children organize information and visualize number relationships by building graphic organizers that they use to solve the problems.  There are different levels of Thinking Blocks (and Thinking Blocks Jr.), so it meets the needs of many students.  (http://www.mathplayground.com/thinkingblocks.html)
