Be on the look-out this summer for ways in which you use them in real life! Here are some ways that you might practice this summer:
- Cook with your family- recipes often use fractional measurements. How would you double or “half” the recipe?
- Shop for bargains. Notice the “sale” signs, and what they mean. If I have a “20% off” coupon, what will be the sale price?
- Work with money- estimate the price of your groceries, make change, figure out the best deal by using unit price.
- Figure out the tip—if your family is at a restaurant, figure out how to determine the amount to leave for a tip.
In addition to the choice board, find some maths puzzles and games to play online!
