[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can do the museums, read read read, go to library, etc.

I have trouble supplementing with math, though.  What are good suggestions for this?  [/quote]

Don't know how old your child is.

But if he doesn't know time, please teach him--this can short shrift in school.  Give him an analogue watch before he gets a cell.  (Number one or two use of cells among kids is telling time--digital time does not teach children about fractions of hours, how much time before the next hour, etc.)

He should know about money as well--same thing about learning fractions, doing adding and subtraction.  Pay him a dime for each pair of socks from the laundry he sorts and count them up to multiply.  When you go shopping explain how you know the price for something that is 50% off, 25% off.

Get a map book and have him help navigate to where you are going in the car.

Play dominoes, cards (gin rummy--your child keeps score or cribbage), and Monopoly.

There are computer games like Math Blaster.

Apart from this, there are plenty of workbooks you can use--Kumon, Singapore Math are some homeschool favorites. Or just go onto Khan Academy.[/quote]
