SummerSkills Math Review Books
Every spring, AB PIP sells SummerSkills Math Books. These books are refreshers to help your children review math skills over the summer. Summerskills 2013 have been updated to reflect the New Math Curriculum Standards.
When you buy SummerSkills Review Books through AB PIP, you get a discount price of $18 per book; you save $2 and PIP receives $1 per book. For more information or to arrange for book pick-up, contact us by e-mail at actonpip@gmail.com or call Anna Sater at (978) 263-4889 or fill out the Summerskills Order Form.
During this fundraiser, you can also purchase the Acton, Naturally Nature Guide and PIP reusable grocery bags on the same order form. Take the guide with you while hiking the Acton conservation lands this summer! Read the SummerSkills flyer.
Product Details: Summer Math Skills Sharpener is a series of 13 separate books (grades K-12) that review math concepts learned in the just completed school year. Consult your child's teacher if you have concerns about appropriate skill level, but generally, you order "Grade 1" if your child just completed grade 1. The books are compatible with national math standards to prepare students for the next level. Find out about the Summer Skills series including a grade-level overview and sample pages.
Customer Reviews: Local educators and tutors continue to identify the SummerSkills Sharpeners as a valuable resource to reinforce skills during the summer. Many families have found SummerSkills books fun and useful tools for summer math practice. SummerSkills Sharpeners are based on the National Curriculum Standards and are not designed to supplement any specific math curriculum.
