For many parents, it may feel like classes ended not too long ago, but back-to-school season is here. Children in some states are already back in the classroom, while many others are gearing up to go back in the coming weeks.
If the summer is a blur of road trips, afternoons at the pool and not much academics, considering spending some time during the rest of the summer doing fun math games with your kids. Not only are they a great way to spend quality family time indoors, but they can also help prevent “summer slide.”
