Summer Learning Fun - Math Ideas
Ideas to keep the kids busy and learning during the summer. 

Taking a break from homeschooling? ...that doesn't mean the learning has to stop!

The hardest thing for the kids to retain all summer is their math skills and it's the hardest subject to get them to do during the summer without them knowing their actually doing math. Cooking is a good way to keep them thinking and work on fractions. Yahtzee is a good game to work on multiplication and addition skills.

Here are some other ideas that you might try. I will be adding to this list all summer, so keep checking back.
