I love activities that spark imaginations and get my children learning. We regularly cook together, and it is fun to see my older son able to "double the recipe" or cut it in half as appropriate. We talk about servings and how to take a recipe that makes enough for 8 people and reduce it to make enough for 5 people. It's a great way to get mathematical minds working on a practical problem. What's best is that we get to eat the results! Thanks for the post! - MM Great idea. I love activities that spark imaginations and get my children learning.
