How many times have you heard, 'When are we ever going to use this?' Children, and some adults, have a hard time understanding why we need to study math. One of the most common places we use everyday is in our own kitchens. Joan D'Amico and Karen Eich Drummond realized this and wrote a book to help out. The Math Chef has over 60 math activities and recipes for kids. Your child will learn about measurement, multiplication, division, fractions, percents, geometry, and more. And when they're through, they get to eat their work. Now that's a win-win situation.
The Math Chef, as with all of Joan D'Amico books, has sections in the book that teach kitchen safety and explains basic cooking skills. There is even a section on nutrition.
