“Math Is the One Subject That We Continue Working on the Summer”

“Math is the one “school” subject that we continue working on the summer that many people tend to take a break from.  My daughters continue to work on math because”:

1. Although they both will say math is their favorite subject, some topics do not come naturally to them. The continued practice helps them to get better and retain the skills that have been learning throughout the years.  We don’t usually use our regular math curriculum for math, but instead my girls use online math programs. Smartick is the program that we are using this summer, and it is by far their favorite.  We have tried several programs throughout our homeschool journey; both of my daughters have told me that they enjoy Smartick the most.  They like the animation, clarity, and interface.  It’s pretty straightforward and easy to use.  I’ll write a review about it soon.
2. It’s easier for us to keep going than stop. Since math isn’t always used in the everyday lives of children, I feel like it is best for me to be intentional about incorporating into their lives everyday.  We aren’t always shopping, measuring, or using other math related skills so continuing to intentional study math helps my daughters in the long run.  They are less likely to forget how to (fill in the blank) , and this makes beginning our next school year a tad bit easier versus me reteaching and wondering what happened to all the things they “learned” the previous school year. “
