If you are baking cookies for Christmas, use this experience to relate reading and math to real life situations. Read the directions together and then begin gathering the ingredients and have your child help measure the ingredients. When placing the cookies on the tray in rows, calculate how many cookies by using multiplication skills( length x width).
Older students can use percentages and other math skills to figure sale prices for Christmas gifts and total amount of money spent.
Have a great holiday vacation! See you in the new year!
