Education experts agree that a solid foundation and comfort with math is fundamental for academic success and throughout life. To help children develop a love of math, Sylvan Learning Center created a free online Math Activity Booklet. The entire family can enjoy the activities focused on math, writing, reading and research skills, which help children understand the role that math plays in the classroom, at home and in the workforce. By experiencing math in fun and creative ways, children can learn to love and appreciate math as a part of their daily routine.
"Children often view math as difficult, dull or not useful in real-life. Unfortunately, many parents feel the same way," says Richard E. Bavaria, Ph.D., vice president of education for Sylvan Learning Center. "Yet math is essential and can be enjoyable. Parents can make math more fun and approachable by linking it to real-world examples and using games and activities to encourage math discovery in children."
Sylvan Learning Center's online Math Activity Book provides 30 days of math writing topics, trivia, questions and puzzles. Children can log on to www.tutoring.sylvanlearning.com/learning-activities and download or print activities and play the game of math.
Math isn't just about numbers and calculations. It's also about understanding how we use math. The writing topics let children explore their imaginations and open themselves up to a wonderful world of math. Sample writing topics include:
