Kitchen Literacy

Having your child estimate can be a fun activity done before dinner. Set out 2 or 3 baggies filled with small amounts of food items such as 8 baby carrots, 12 grapes, or 10 fish crackers. Before eating, have your child try to guess how many items are in the baggie. Next, have your child empty the baggie and count their snacks..

Think about times your child helps you in the kitchen. Write down how it is kitchen math. Was it fun?
