Looking for free resources to help students strengthen their math skills over the summer? Khan Academy offers adaptive online mathematics instruction for students in grades K-12, making it a great resource for preventing summer learning loss and reinforcing grade-level concepts.
About Khan Academy
Kahn Academy provides free adaptive, online mathematics resources designed to support students in grades K-12. Instruction is presented in grade-level "Missions" organized according to the domains of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS).
Students begin each Mission by completing a diagnostic Mission Warm-up, which assesses their understanding of the concepts and skills within the domain. Based on the results, Khan Academy creates a personalized learning pathway that targets each student's learning needs while supporting progress toward grade-level expectations.
Instruction includes:
Short instructional videos (5–20 minutes) that teach specific math concepts and skills.
Embedded practice activities that allow students to immediately apply what they have learned.
Practice Tasks focused on individual skills.
Challenges that assess mastery across multiple related skills within a student's current Mission.
Khan Academy's videos include closed captioning and are available in languages other than English, although the amount of content varies by language.
