For the rising 6th grade students, here are two sets of summer maths learning opportunities:

 

Choice Board: Focusing on the broad beautiful set of mathematical virtues

Perseverance, curiosity, creativity, being strategic, holding a positive disposition towards problem solving are some key virtues of mathematicians! 

 

Worksheets: Focusing strictly on computational skills

 

Other fun opportunities to explore are:

Next year in 6th grade, you will do a lot of work with fractions, decimals, and percents. Be on the look-out this summer for ways in which you use them in real life! Here are some ways that you might practice this summer:

• Cook with your family- recipes often use fractional measurements. How would you double or “half” the recipe? 
• Shop for bargains. Notice the “sale” signs, and what they mean. If I have a “20% off” coupon, what will be the sale price? 
• Work with money- estimate the price of your groceries, make change, figure out the best deal by using unit price. 
• Figure out the tip—if your family is at a restaurant, figure out how to determine the amount to leave for a tip.

In addition to the choice board, find some maths puzzles and games to play online! 

Dan Finkel's excellent TEDed puzzles includes various riddles and puzzles presented in a fun way: https://ed.ted.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&qs=Dan+Finkel
