The following optional activities can be done WITHOUT any access to technology:
Target skill or concept Directions for learning activity
Multiplication Practice ● To play Multiplication War, start by removing the face cards from the deck. The Ace represents
1, Jacks are 11, Queens 12, Kings 13. Deal the cards evenly between yourself and your child.
Both players then place one card face up. In Multiplication War, whoever shouts out the
product of the two numbers multiplied together wins the hand and gets the two cards. For
example, if you put down a three and your child puts down a six, the player who calls out 18
first wins the hand.
● Have your child practice multiplication and division facts in a variety of ways. For example,
Have your child write them on paper, use flash cards, ask them orally, etc.
● Pose scenarios to your child and ask how to solve them. For example, we have three loaves of
bread. If there are 20 slices of bread in each one, how many slices of bread do we have in all?
To solve, we could say 20 x 3 = 60.
Measurement/Fractions ● Have your child follow a recipe to cook (with supervision). Ask your child questions such as
“What if I doubled this recipe? How much (ingredient) would I need? What if I cut this recipe in
half? How much (ingredient) would I need?”
● Ask your child to help you measure things in different rooms, like windows or lamps, to
compare them. How do you do it when you can’t see the objects at the same time?
Geometry ● Find an outdoor space (fence, driveway, porch, etc.) and tape off an area in a mosaic
design. Then, using sidewalk chalk, color in the areas to make a mosaic design. You can
discuss shapes, angles, and vertices, all while making a beautiful piece of art!
Fraction War ● Students deal two cards, a numerator and denominator, then determine whose fraction is the
largest. The winner keeps all four cards, and play continues until the cards are gone.
Reading Comprehension ● Read fictional stories to your child or listen to your child read them to you. Discuss the
characters and the events in the story. Help your child retell the story in the correct order.
● Read informational/nonfiction texts to your child or listen to your child read them to you. These
can include more than just books. For example, you can read magazine articles or recipes.
Discuss what you learned from the text.
● After reading texts, your child can keep a daily reading log. The reading log can include the
texts your child read, their reactions/opinions of the texts, etc.
Writing ● Have your child write to share an opinion (Example: Which season is your favorite and why.)
● Have your child write to share information (Example: After watching an educational show or
reading an informational text, write a paragraph about what you learned.)
● Have your child write to share an experience (Example: Write about a time you learned
something new.)
● Have your child keep a daily journal to write about any topic.
● Guide your child check writing assignments for the following: Correct capitalization, complete
sentences, correct usage of words, correct punctuation.
