I am a Middle School Math teacher. I spent the last year making a website geared directly for grades 1-8. I want students to have a site where they can practice their math skills while still having fun. I have personally made most of the games. If you have a place on your website to put a link, please do so. My site is located at: HoodaMath.com Feel free to email me back with a link or a suggestion.

I recently took a group of kindergarteners out on a Scavenger Hunt - as you mentione in your post - but we called it a 'Shape' Hunt. Giving each child a checklist with various shapes on it, we asked them to find the shapes in and around the park. Finally, we had the little ones count up how many of each shape they could find. It was loads of fun. Thanks for the great idea Dreambox! Going on a shape hunt can be a lot of fun for K-2nd grade students. And it is a great way to keep kids engaged in summer math activities.
