Did you know that research shows students lose two to three months of grade level math equivalency over the summer? This impacts their readiness for the next school year.
In my house, we call this summer brain drain and the teachers at school call it the same thing.
TENMARKS SUMMER MATH PROGRAM
The TenMarks Summer Math Program is designed for students completing grade 1 through Geometry and Algebra 2, helping build their math foundation and skills over the summer break at their own pace and time, and benefitting teachers who typically spend the first few weeks of a school year re-introducing the previous years’ teachings. The program starts with a diagnostic assessment it uses to automatically create a personalized summer curriculum, which reviews concepts from the previous year, and introduces concepts for the year ahead. As students work through their curriculum, they use embedded hints and video lessons to refresh what they know while learning new material. The program adapts with targeted interventions for real-time learning assistance.
TenMarks, which is an Amazon company and recipient of the 2015 CODiE Award for Best Math Instructional Solution, is working hard to keep students engaged over the summer to reverse learning loss in math before heading back to school.The TenMarks Summer Math Program is a national program that provides students with a personalized course tuned to their individual learning needs, based on a summative end-of-year assessment. With the Program, parents can encourage students to use screen time in a productive way over the summer, whether at home or on-the-go. Data from 2014 showed that the TenMarksSummer Math Program helped reverse summer learning loss for over 69% of participating students—in just 8 weeks, with one-hour of use per week, students tested at the beginning of the program and then again at the end of the program averaged 11% increase in scores.
WHY TENMARKS
TenMarks believes that students learn best when they are individually engaged, nurtured, and motivated. Its programs are designed for the depth and rigor of the new math standards and every TenMarks lesson helps students build a strong conceptual foundation, improve problem-solving skills, and gain math confidence. TenMarks math programs have been used by millions of students across over 55,000 schools and over 12,000 districts.
OUR THOUGHTS ON TENMARKS
From the moment my youngest child picked it up, she has loved and thrived with the TenMarks app. She asks every day to k
My older daughter and son also use TenMarks. They use TenMarks at the school my children go to so they were very used to the app and it was very easy to get them to use it at home. They are really good about using the app for a little while each day and I feel that they are making progress.
I love being able to create rewards for my kids based on their preferences. I know what will motivate them and I added those things as rewards on the app right away.

I am all for my kids learning over the summer, especially when it comes to math. This sounds like an awesome program.
This looks like a great math program. I need to look into this for my younger niece.
What a great way to keep up on skills during breaks. I love how they can earn points and you can set rewards!
I love that this has rewards. My kids were more likely to do educational stuff in the summer if they were getting something out of it.
My oldest struggles with math and she will be entering middle school next year. It seems more important than ever before that she keep up on her skills over the summer with a program like this.
I’m hoping to keep my kids busy with a few homeschool lessons including math this summer. This sounds great!
It is so hard to keep kids interested in learning over the summer. This sounds like a great program to help with that.
This sounds like a great idea. We are also doing a few things this summer to help with learning loss.
I’m not familiar with Tenmarks but really like the assignments you’ve highlighted. Summer math practice is really important to keep skills up, as with reading. In my experience it’s easier to use a program like Tenmarks rather than trying to supplement on your own too.
Kids love playing with ipads and computers, so this would be a great way to get them to use their brains during the summer
I’m always looking for ways to keep the kids engaged and learning outside of school!
This looks like such a great program to have kids do over the summer. Thanks for sharing this idea with us so that many parents have this resource at their disposal.
Sounds like a great learning program from Amazon! I know my son is definitely working on keeping those important math skills this summer
I like the sound of this app. I will tell my daughter in law about this.
It was suggested strongly that all of the children at my kids’ school sign up for this. I can’t wait to see how my kids do.
I love the idea of not letting kids forget what they learned over the summer. I am going to check into this for my daughter.
What a great way to encourage kids to read more. I love this idea, going to check it out!
Summer brain is a real thing! This is a great program to keep their minds fresh!
My son could use some math help. I will look into this
I just signed up for the free service of TenMarks. Haven’t explored it yet but I am excited to explore it.
I’m seeing a lot of great options to keep kids busy this summer. Plus, they’re so educational!
These kids are really lucky to have all of these great educational tools right at there fingertips! I wish programs like this were around when I was growing up!
I love that there are so many online programs for our kids! This sounds like a good one too!!
The TenMarks Summer Math Program looks great! What a great way to keep kids minds going in the world of math!
