We decided to cook together a few times each week as a way of combining math lessons and homemaking skills. Sarah really loves to cook, so we practice her multiplication skills by having her triple every recipe.
Today she made several chicken pot pies: one for dinner tonight, and two for the freezer for later. There were two pie crusts left over, so she proposed we make pumpkin pies.
Pumpkin pies don't freeze well, so we kept one pie for our family and she walked the other pie over to our neighbors.
She was pleased that she could share the fruit of her labors. I was pleased that we finally caught her interest with math.
