    Mathnasium teaches children about math in fun ways.

    Keeping your children’s skills sharp during the summer months is an important part of parenting. Most kids spend time reading in summer with summer reading programs and more. But don’t forget about the significance and importance of math this summer too.
    Math skills are extremely important and it takes practice to keep them sharp. Kids need to count, but they also need to learn multiplication, division, percentages and more in their daily lives. When they apply math skills to everyday activities, it helps children retain knowledge and expand skills.

    Researchers emphasize how the summer months cause children’s skills in all areas to slide a bit. Math is one of those areas where we should continually refresh children’s minds and help them build on what they already know.  Offering educational experiences during the summer months away from school helps them perform better when the re-enter school the following year.

    Look for ways to include math in activities, discussions, play time and more this summer.
