Just because school is out for the summer, it doesn't mean a child's brain should stop working. In fact, keeping a child's mind fresh with review as well as new ideas can keep those brains in tip-top shape for the following school year, helping to prevent confusion on schoolwork. But, who says learning has to be something your child dreads? It should instead be something the child looks forward to and thrives on. Free math printables from various internet sources can help with that.

Free Math Printables: Math Bingo
Bingo is a classic favorite among children (and even adults) of all ages. Adding math to it this summer will allow the children to learn while doing something they likely enjoy anyway. I haven't yet come across a kid who didn't like a good game of Bingo. BingoCardCreator.com has a wide selection of math subjects to choose from, even those for older kids and adults, such as calculus.

Free Math Printables: Word Math Puzzles
Help your children increase logic skills this summer while they have fun at the same time. In Word math puzzles, they must figure out which number each letter stands for in a long division problem written in letters. This is a great activity for children currently studying long division in school. CRPuzzles.com has a good collection of free word math puzzles that is updated frequently. These can be figured online or printed out.

Free Math Printables: Logic Problems
Logic problems are a great way to increase comprehension and study skills. They can help a child increase problem-solving skills over the summer that will be helpful in school and also throughout life. Logic problems are sometimes difficult to figure out, but many kids enjoy doing them. For some, it's the satisfaction of knowing they are able to complete a difficult task. For others, it's just fun. Puzzles.com has a variety of logic problems that are free to solve online or can be downloaded as free printables.

Great ideas - I could've saved $3.86 I spent on that workbook if I'd kept up with my reading!

This is very helpful. Great minds must think alike-I've been working on Bingo for elsewhere but more language oriented. Great job.

C. Jeanne Heida: "Just the other day I was threatening my daughter with some summer math drills after she mismeasured ingredients (she thought 2 cups was a quart). LOL, I'll have to check out your resources and search for some printables for her :)" That is funny. We all know it's a gallon.
