TOP Mathematics Websites

Your child shouldn't spend the summer stuck in reverse—especially when it comes to math skills. Children can lose up to three months of learning over summer vacation, according to a study by Dr. Harris Cooper, professor and chair of the Department of Psychological Sciences, University of Missouri, so it's important to keep them engaged.   It can be difficult for parents to keep math on the front burner, especially when it is hard to gauge exactly what their child should be learning. Here are some of the best websites to help your child combat the summer math brain drain.
