As the school year winds down and summer approaches, many parents are focused on planning vacations and recreational activities for their children. However, summer is also an excellent opportunity for elementary and middle school students to get ahead in their studies, especially in math. Summer learning not only helps prevent the “summer slide,” where students may lose knowledge and skills gained during the school year, but it also allows for improved focus on challenging subjects without the pressure of a full school day.

By solidifying, enhancing, and advancing their understanding of key concepts in mathematics during the summer break, your child can return to school with a head start, setting them up for success and boosting their confidence. Here’s how Think Academy has been helping thousands of students to utilize summertime for the best. Follow these 3 steps to supercharge your child’s summer math learning experience:

Step 1: Claim Your Free Calculation Drills Workbook (G1-G8)

Get Started with Essential Practice

At the heart of math lies calculation. Mastery in calculation is crucial because it is the foundation for more complex math skills. Two key aspects are:

1. Accuracy: Ensuring that calculations are correct is fundamental. Inaccurate calculations can lead to incorrect answers and misunderstandings of math concepts.
2. Speed: Performing calculations quickly helps students tackle more problems within a given time, which is particularly useful during tests and exams.

How to Use the Calculation Drills Spanning Hundreds of Pages Per Grade

1. 1 Page Per Day: Encourage your child to spend a little time each day working on the calculation exercises. Consistent, daily practice is more effective than cramming all at once.
2. Track Progress: Keep a record of your child’s performance to monitor improvement. Celebrate their successes to keep them motivated. Each chapter is followed up with a chart.
3. Stay Positive: Math can be challenging, but with the right attitude and support, your child can overcome any difficulties. Praise their efforts and resilience.

Step 2: Take a Free MAP Assessment (G3-G7)

Discover Your Child’s Level

Understanding your child’s current academic standing is essential for effective learning. To achieve this, we encourage students to participate in the MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) assessment. This comprehensive test identifies strengths and areas for improvement, enabling effective planning of their academic journey. It also assesses if they are learning ahead, which can benefit future college applications.

What Is the MAP test？

MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) is a computer-adaptive test tailored to each student’s level, effectively assessing their abilities. Available for K-12 students, it provides a detailed report comparing their performance with peers nationwide.

Why Take it？

• Personalizes Learning: Adapts to each student’s level to provide the most accurate and tailored assessments
• Measures Growth: Tracks academic progress over time, not just at a single point.
• Sets Goals: Check on the student’s current level, know the gap of learning ahead, and set a goal of filling the learning gap.
• Benchmarks Performance: help in understanding how well the students are performing relative to their same-grade peers nationwide
