I hope you are enjoying your summer vacation, and you are finding opportuinties to use your math skills each day. Have you estimated the amount of money being spent when you shop with your family? Do you buy snacks at the ball field. snack bar at the swimclub or WAWA? Remember to count your change. What fraction of the day do you sleep, watch TV, swim, read? Have you seen any graphs in the newspaper or magazines? Try to interpret the data shown.
As it comes closer to the beginning of the school year, you should visit a few web sites that will help you review math skills. Some suggested sites are:

Enjoy the rest of the summer.
