I was sent this link about an online summer program for kids who're entering 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade next fall.
It uses daily interactive worksheets that you can also print out, if desired.
Right now the registration is FREE. The program starts on 11th of June.

An island of rationality in the insanity of math wars
That is the description of a new blog called Rational Mathematics Education, by Michael Paul Goldenberg.
I mention it for the sake of those of you who are interested in the trends in mathematics education, and the "math wards" between the traditional and the reform.
As for me, I'm just real real busy trying to finish up the Math Mammoth complete curriculum for 3rd grade, and get that to the folks at Winterpromise. So that's why there has been sort of a break in blogging. I'll try to do better after that's all done.
I mention it for the sake of those of you who are interested in the trends in mathematics education, and the "math wards" between the traditional and the reform.
"The 'Net is flooded with videos, blogs, and what I view as hate lists and web sites all attacking progressive reform methods, tools, technologies, pedagogies and, most especially, text books in mathematics (although the onslaught against progressive science education is on its way, and the current focus on mathematics education reform was preceded by the still on-going war against "whole language" and related ideas in literacy education.
This blog has been created to provide direct replies to entries on other blogs where the blogger invites feedback but refuses to post negative responses, critical comments, uncomfortable questions, etc., of ANY kind, regardless of how polite they may be. What do such people fear, I wonder?"

Statistics worksheets
After some delay the Statistics Worksheets Collcetion from the Math Mammoth Green Series is now available. It is priced at $4 for 47 worksheets.
The sheets span about five grade levels (from grade 3 to 7); however the majority are for grades 5-7.
In this collection, the worksheets are organized by topic (see table of contents). Within each topic, the difficulty level varies because the sheets have originally been made for different grade levels. Thus the teacher can choose a sheet of right difficulty level, or even assign some students easier sheets and some students more challenging ones, on the same topic.
Math Mammoth Statistics Worksheets Collection covers bar graphs, line graphs, circle graphs - both reading and drawing them - data analysis, mean, median, and mode, box-and-whisker plots, stem-and-leaf plots, measures of variation, misleading statistics, data gathering, and a few statistics projects. I hope the problems will fit your needs!
