[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought that was mostly for preschoolers? My 3 year old gets some good counting reinforcement and one-to-one correspondence helping me make sure I get enough cups of flour in dough and stuff. To get into more advanced arithmetic, you really have to be doing stuff like 01:26 recommended. I only do that when I'm doing something weird like 2/3rd-ing a recipe, which is not a task I usually attempt with 3 DC "helping."[/quote] That’s because he is 3. When he is 10 and learning fractions you will happily doubling or halving recipes and realizing it is somewhat useful. Not in place of other things, but as an occasional visual refresher of what 1/2 of a 1/3 looks like. [/quote] I have older kids also (that's why I'm here). Maybe it's just because I also have a 3 year old that I don't want to be asking the oldest kid, who definitely knows her fractions, to turn 2/3 of 1/4 cup into tablespoons on the fly.[/quote]
