Dear Fellow Teachers:
Are you looking for fresh ideas for math tutorial sessions, student math activities, summer school, or for “Back To School Night”? Why not share a game or describe an activity from one of the Adventures with Mathematics activity books? This is a series of 13 “grade level” books (K-8 and Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Probability and Statistics) being written, tested and published with teams of teachers, students and other mathematics educators across Michigan.
One of these six currently available is likely just what you can use! You may order on-line at our Store or download an order form that you may mail here.

When parents ask for ways to help their students, recommend that they purchase and use one of these books. If a student is weak in a given area, you can use the alignment chart to suggest specific activities. If a student would benefit from skill practice or experiences to develop concepts, activities and problems are there.
A flier that describes the books and availability is listed below. Please print off copies and distribute to your parents. You can also use the following order form, Adventures with Mathematics Order Form, or order online at www.mictm.org/index.php/shop.

The Mathematics Scholarship Endowment Fund Committee (MCTM-SEF) is engaged in writing 13 grade level books intended for children to use throughout the summer to mitigate summer learning loss. The activities and short problems were written by Michigan teachers, mathematics or statistics educators, and prospective teachers. They are fun, engaging, and help children not forget everything they learned in grade n while also preparing them for grade n + 1.
