Hot Lava Mama Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 My dd needs a little bit more work on her basics before we move onto her 7th grade math book. Any suggestions on a "summer time" type of skill book that I can use? I don't want to start another whole curriculum, just a brush up type of thing. Thanks!

Arcadia Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 The study guide and intervention workbook pdf has a quick summary, example and than practice problems. The word problems workbook pdf is word problems. http://glencoe.mcgra..._workbooks.html The Pizzazz series of workbooks is another nice one if she likes the puzzles looking kind of practice.

Aloha2U Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 A multivide (combination of "multiply" and "divide") is an exercise, starting with a number and multiplying it by 2, then 3, 4, 5, 6...and up to 9. Then you start with that final number and go backwards, dividing it by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, back to the original number (if no errors have been made). ETA: Here's a slideshow example (slide #s 193-207) from Dr. Cotter of RightStart Math. Also, Check Numbers are especially helpful when doing a daily multivide (slide #s 208-255). http://www.slideshar...d-brain-teasers My ds keeps his multivides in a quad ruled composition notebook.

LivingHope Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Simply Charlotte Mason puts out a business math pdf... to quote their description of it..."Your Business Math Series is a fun and “living math†kit that reinforces math skills for ages 8–12! Your student uses his math knowledge to keep his very own store running and, hopefully, make a profit. But there are also some surprises along the way!" http://simplycharlottemason.com/store/your-business-math/ We plan to use the pet store version this summer.

We are going to do math over the summer but wasn't sure what I wanted to use. I think this is perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
