Parenting

Family Math Fun!
Math is a tool we can use to solve all kinds of problems. How many hot dogs should
we cook for a crowd? How many plates should I put on the table when grandma and grandpa come for dinner? What is the best way to arrange things in my closet? Great for parents trying to incorporate learning into everyday activities.
