Rising 2nd Grade Summer Math
Many people have asked for summer math problems for other grades. My school has helpfully provided this summer curriculum for rising 2nd grade but for other grades, there isn’t a daily math problem curriculum (yet). Instead, my school has these great math games for other grades.
p.s. The other weeks are here: Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4, Week 5, Week 6, Week 7.

This is like a game of BINGO. Complete five activities in any one row or diagonal (columns of the same letter do not count in this game). Because space is limited, some of the directions are abbreviated. You can make up any additional directions you may need. | ||||

Another method for games that don’t require the use of numbers greater than 10 would be to use the playing cards from the game of UNO.
