[quote=Anonymous]OP, you could look into Mathnasium -- I know of locations in Vienna (Maple Ave.) and McLean. They will test your child to see where your child now stands and then work over the summer with your child to build skills. We sent our daughter there the summer before she started AAP in third grade and it really helped her feel confident when she began AAP. She has gone each summer since, just to keep up her math skills. (She does not go during the school year, though some kids do that too.) Mathnasium does not send home any worksheets or homework -- all the work is done there and you largely get to set a schedule that is convenient for you -- for iinstance your child might go two or three times a week, for an hour a time, or maybe 90 minutes -- depends on your schedule, and if you need to pick up a bit later one day, it's fine if your kid is there a little longer etc. If you need to go on a different day one week because something came up, that's fine too. Pretty relaxed schedules but good instruction, for my kid at least. I really recommend it.

The point is not to give your kid a full year of math education in one summer but to ensure skills stay sharp and that maybe he also works ahead a bit. And yes...ensure that those multiplication tables are strong before school starts, whether you use Mathnasium or not.[/quote]
