Summer Math Facts Practice

Don’t let your kids forget their facts over the summer! I let it happen to one of my sons, and it was such a big regret. If you are taking a break from the site this summer, please consider using this little book to keep your child from going down the “summer slide.”

Summer would also be a good time to get a head start on the next set of facts. Math is much easier once you know the answers, so help your kids learn those facts! The books have 60 pages of facts practice. My boys had their facts down by around page 50.

You can print off a page anytime for a refresher or print or buy the workbook to go through over the summer or as a break from Xtra Math to keep learning your facts.

Our paperwork was denied by the Macedonian Embassy. We’ve now been turned down for visas in three countries. It’s time to head back to America.

We’ll be there for at least a year and a half as we had already planned on being there next year to help my daughter transition to college. We don’t know what comes after that.

Please pray for me as I pack up for our fifth international move this year, say goodbye to friends I may never see again, and keep work and family in balance.

Black History Month

Here are some resources your kids could explore for Black History Month.

Adults: Finding Your Roots Episode on Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick – This includes the great story of Mumbet, but I think it also offers an interesting look at changing views on slavery, how whites were products of their culture and how it took time and often someone to come along and basically wake them up to the reality around them.

Teens: Drop Me Off in Harlem  You can click Play All.

Elementary: Musical Harlem

Everyone: Watch Alvin Ailey’s Revelations (excerpts) Watching Guide (“Learn More”)

Everyone: Listen to “Of Thee We Sing.” Marian Anderson  Click on Listen.

Everyone: Tour a gallery of African American artists.  Take the tour. You can click on the pictures to see them larger.

Middle school/High school: Political cartoon after Brown vs. Board of Education, video clip on the first high school ordered to be desegregated

Teens: Click on the tabs along the side, a learning resource on the Civil Rights Movement.

For now, this is for those using or planning on using Math 1.
We have gotten our own versions of all the math worksheets from Math 1. That means, one, we’ll never have to replace them, and two, you can have them all in a packet to print all at once instead of having to open each one separately to print. (It’s waiting for you in Math 1 and First.) I hope this helps a lot of you, and if you don’t want to print, it’s available as a workbook. But, there’s more!

The woman who gifted us with these worksheets went on to make one for every day. There is now a workbook available with 180 pages of math activities. I don’t like encouraging extra work, so I thought those pages would be most useful in an offline course! Like our readers, you can now do Math 1 completely offline if you choose. Since she had done all that work, I went ahead and created a Parent’s Guide to go with it that fills in any gaps. Together with the student workbook it’s a complete one year math course for first grade. It’s totally offline but is based from EP’s online Math 1 course.
