<\/div>\n
I know a number of parents who buy math workbooks for their children during the Summer months to help prepare their children for the next grade level. \u00a0It makes sense, by becoming familiar with various math concepts earlier, it will make it easier for your child to grasp them \u00a0once the concept is introduced in class.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I would love to stay that I’m a structured parent who finds a way to make workbooks fun and compelling. \u00a0But the truth is, if I bought one of the workbooks for Summer, I’m the kind of person who would be tearing the house up and down looking for it, wondering where I put it!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I also don’t particularly find workbooks that much fun, so instilling the “fun” factor into Summer study time would be difficult for me. \u00a0When I heard about Splash Math<\/a>, I became more intrigued. \u00a0Splash Math is a series of comprehensive apps (for grades K-5) created by Studypad Inc., to make math more fun and show a child’s progress. \u00a0What intrigued me about Splash Math was that these apps are not just a fun few games but a full-bodied app with enough content in each grade level to last the entire school year. \u00a0Wow, I’ve never seen a more comprehensive math skills app…or workbook for that matter.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
To prepare my kids for the upcoming school year, we have been using Splash Math throughout the Summer. \u00a0My son is entering 2nd grade, so I downloaded Splash Math 3rd grade for him. \u00a0Why? \u00a0Because he loves math and I know his upcoming 2nd grade teacher will focus on developing multiplication skills right away, so I wanted to give him a head start.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
My daughter is entering 5th grade. \u00a0Though math isn’t necessarily her favorite topic, she does pretty well at it, so I decided to download the appropriate grade level for her.<\/div>\n
