Ideas For Parents: Summer Fun=Math!

Ideas For Parents: Summer Fun=Math!

By Jennifer Suh, Phd

George Mason University jsuh4@gmu.eduHow about rounding up some kids in the neighborhood for a summer carnival game day? These games allow for students to use creativity and number sense. You can even challenge some kids to make a variation for younger and older kids. This summer neighborhood carnival will be sure to engage kids in the 21st century skills: 4Cs- Creativity, Collaboration, Communication and Critical thinking while ensuring they work on number sense over the summer.Ideas for a Neighborhood Summer Math Carnival
*Popcorn Drop Contest. Design a carnival game for Popcorn drop where the players have to guess their average after 4 tries.  Play the game and see how many times you can guess your average! You can talk about sports and averages and the meaning of mean, median and mode.*Crazy Combinations of Clothes! It’s time to get crazy!  In this relay rally, you must run up to the bottoms bag and grab an article of clothing to put on.  Then you run to the tops bag to grab a top and finally to the hat bag for a hat!  In the bottoms bag there is a pair of shorts, a pair of sweat paints, and a pair of bathing suit bottoms.  In the tops bag there is a dress shirt, a t shirt, and a tank top.  In the hat bag there is a baseball cap, a sun hat, a visor, and a tiara.  What are all the combinations of outfits you could grab while playing this game? Do you look silly?*Face Painting! Students have a choice of heart, butterfly, spider web, and lightning bolt.  How many lines of symmetry do you have on your design?*Mind Reader. The game is also called Salute! You need three players. Two players put up a card on their forehead without looking and then, the two players look at one another’s foreheads . Player 3 adds, subtracts, multiply or divides the numbers. Player 3 says, “The sum is ___” , “The difference is ___”., “the product is ___”, “the quotient is___” . The other two players must guess what is on their forehead by using the  other’s card. This helps build facility with math facts.

*Metric Olympics (AIMS) Mini-Metric Olympics
Have a content like the Olympics with metric measurement. This way kids get to play and become better at estimation and  about benchmark measurements.  For other free hands on math and science ideas, check out http://www.aimsedu.org/activities/
