Winter Math!

Winter Math

Winter break is right around the corner! This is a great opportunity to take time with your child and connect math to the real world. Below are some ideas that will help get you started:

• Grocery shopping can involve money, budgeting, estimating, adding, subtracting, and measuring
• Cooking can involve weighing, measuring, ordering, estimating, adding, and multiplying
• Organizing for a party can mean matching numbers of people to plates, cutlery, area of tables, ordering food, and seating arrangements
• Going on a trip by car or plane involves time, distance, budgeting, speed, comparing various routes, and shape scavenger hunts
• Completing a half finished symmetrical design using playdough (e.g., half a butterfly, tree)
• Building a snowman can involve measuring, spatial reasoning, and estimating

These ideas will help your child see the importance of math in their everyday lives through fun and interactive ways.
