A “Summer Math Journal” is a great way to reinforce kindergarten math concepts in a fun, enjoyable, and stress-free way. One Massachusetts kindergarten teacher created a booklet for her class by cutting an 8 x 11.5 sheet of blank paper in half. At the bottom of each half sheet, she listed a set of directions. The teacher created a cover sheet and stapled the pages together.
Each student had a personal math journal and completed the activities during class time. At the end of the school year, the teacher left several assignments for the students to complete over the summer.
How it works:
1. The child reads the directions at the bottom of the page.
2. The child draws a picture that includes the numbers, objects, and math concepts listed in the directions.
Parents can use the directions below or create activities on your own. As you can see, the directions are not rocket science. You and your child can take turns thinking up guidelines for the next activity. Most children love to be creative, so I am sure there will be some very imaginative guidelines.
If you have several youngsters, this can be a great group activity to pass away the summer hours.
Below are the directions. I hope you enjoy!
