Math is not something which you study in text books alone. Imagine shopping for grocery or planning a trip with friends and still learning Math! In fact Math is studied best when you are relaxed and enjoying the subject. The summer break is a good time to work on your Math skills. You can explore some of the activities given below to have fun with numbers this summer.
Shopping with Math - This activity offers endless possibilities, teaches budgeting and planning skills and is a fun way to work on your mental Math. You can offer to help your parents with the grocery shopping for the week. You can work with them on a list of things they need, estimate the cost and time it will take you to get the things and go shopping.
Plan a day out with Math - This can be a interesting way to learn how much your favorite activities cost. You can list down your favorite things to do or plan a trip with your friends. Budget the cost for each activity and ensure that you manage to have fun within the amount you set yourself.
Math worksheets - There are a lot of sites which offer free Math worksheets which you can print and work on. These worksheets are customized according to grades as well as the topic which you want to work on.

Online Math games - Your interest in computers can be combined with some Math fun over the summers. Sites such as http://www.pitt.edu/~poole/kindergarten.html and http://resources.oswego.org/games/ offer interesting Math games which you can use.
Another interesting and convenient way to work on your Math over the summers is by joining an online Summer Program like TutorVista’s. Our summer program is an easy way to improve and reinforce your Math skills and also get a head-start with concepts for the next school term.
You work one-on-one with a tutor over the summer at your own pace and time. Our sessions are also very interactive and student driven. So you decide when and what you would like to study and get the maximum out of learning this summer.
Summer’s need not always be a time for ‘learning loss‘. By creatively using your time you can actually learn a lot in an interesting way and be well prepared for the next school term.
