[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS will also be in the third grade. If your son already has reading an math assignments from school, I would try to build in cultural education - museums, visits to historic sites, etc.

We typically choose a long series or topics of interest and watch documentaries or learning shows on hot summer afternoons. I let DS choose what he wants to learn about and try to find something related on Netflix. He watched Cosmos last summer and has had a passion for space ever since. We also watch shows on animals, Egyptian mummies/pyramids, etc. good stuff, not boring. Often we'll follow up with a trip to the library if something has captured DS's attention.

We watch cartoons and play video games too, but I tend to reserve that for the weekend. [/quote]

Oops sorry- you asked about math. Try tenmarks or ixl for keeping sharp of the school hasn't assigned anything specific. I like some online work durong the summer because it breaks the monotony of workbooks. You could go all out and find some math concepts your DS won't learn much about in school- Fibonacci sequence, perfect numbers, etc.  reading tables and graphs will start to be important and may need to be taught specifically. I would use the opportunity to teach the multiplication table. [/quote]
