Want to boost math and science learning? Take a bug expedition and give your first grader practice observing and charting what they see.

Engage your children with this fun fall activity that integrates math and science. First, your child will excavate to find leaves. Next, they'll examine them to determine the colors. Then, your child will graph their findings.

Increase your child's confidence in interpreting bar graphs and throw a little candy into the mix to sweeten the learning process.

Your child can brush up on her math skills by charting the length of time that each candle on the menorah takes to burn.

Encourage your kindergartener to investigate and chronicle the weather she observes during the coldest months of the year.

Learn about the microclimate of your backyard by tracking rainfall, temperature, and observed weather with hand drawn charts and graphs.

Challenge your third-grader to sharpen her new math skills--and maybe do the planet a favor, too.
