It's the holidays! It's great to have a break isn't it. Over the next couple of weeks you might be really busy with your family and friends. If you have some time and want something to do, here's a couple of ideas:
Maths-
Practise your basic facts- use any of the links on the blog
Increase your basic fact speed by completing some 5 minute frenzies- www.maths_drills.com
Bake a cake- measuring all the ingredients
Take a calculator when you go grocery shopping and add up the total as you go
Make a cool creation/ machine out of geometric blocks or shapes- You can make 3D shapes out of cardboard or paper too- www.senteacher.org/wk/3dshape.php
Draw some graphs about your own statistical investigation- ask your friends a question-e.g: What is your favourite author?
