It's summer vacation - a time to relax, read, and have lots of fun! I wanted to share with you some links and ideas on how to keep your kids' math skills sharp over the summer. I collected online websites, apps, fun ideas, and printables. I am sure you can save some of these ideas for when you go back to the classroom as well. Enjoy!
