Keep Math Skills Sharp This Summer—No Tantrums Needed

Summer is a time for fun and relaxation, but it can also cause students to lose progress—especially in math. Research consistently shows that even a short break can lead to setbacks in learning, and by the time school resumes, teachers often see noticeable gaps in both younger and older students.

That said, it’s possible to turn summer into a season of progress instead of setbacks with some structure and summer math tutoring. Here are some ways to prevent math learning loss during the break.

Establish a learning routine

Set aside time each day for your child to review or practice math, even if it’s just for a short session. Work with your child to create a schedule that fits your family’s summer plans so they can make math a part of their day.

Teach math in the kitchen

Cooking is an everyday task that can keep math skills fresh. As your child follows a recipe, they can learn measurement and sequencing. If they adjust a recipe to match their taste or serving size, they will need to use multiplication and division.

Start with something easy — like a smoothie recipe — then challenge your child to double it. This builds proportional thinking and gives them a hands-on way to apply what they’ve learned.

Do the math while playing or watching sports

Math feels more engaging when it’s connected to activities your child already enjoys, like sports. Encourage them to track player stats or follow the progress of a game by calculating the time between scores or comparing performance data. These exercises build analytical thinking and help your child see how math applies to real-life interests.
