Summer vacation is more detrimental for math skills than reading skills, and most detrimental for math computation, according to research by Duke University professor Harris Cooper. Cooper attributes this to the factual and procedural way we learn math skills and the lack of opportunity to practice math over the summer months.
Across the board, all students lose math skills over the summer and some students begin the school year up to two months behind (National Summer Learning Association.) How can parents help their children prevent the summer slide in math? Practicing math skills throughout the summer helps children “use it, not lose it” when it comes to preserving factual-based math skills.
Evan-Moor, a trusted PreK–8 educational publisher, is now offering free online flashcard activities for children ages 4–7 to practice math facts and boost summer learning. To access the free online activities, use this link: Multiplication Facts to 9s and Addition and Subtraction Facts to 10.
Evan-Moor’s online activities provide a fun and interactive experience that motivates children in kindergarten, first grade, and second grade to practice basic math facts, especially useful over the summer break. Plus, the timed-test format creates a fun “beat the clock” learning experience—with an adjustable timer that can be hidden from view.
