[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can do the museums, read read read, go to library, etc.

I have trouble supplementing with math, though.  What are good suggestions for this?  [/quote]

PP back.  My daughters are 2.5 and 7.  Thanks to all who have already given suggestions and I am open to more if anyone else has them.  [/quote]

Those a great ages to incorporate math easily and happily.  
As a PP said, cook with them.  Have the little one count the number of eggs you need and have the big one give you two cups of water using only the 1/2 cup measuring cup.
At the grocery store, ask the big one to figure out how much money you'll need or how much change you will get.
Driving by the fire station, talk to the little one about how many trucks are there and what shape they are.  better yet, go on an impromto visit to the firestation - they love having little visitors.  Ask them how many feet of hose is on a truck, how they read the maps to determine where to go, etc.

And of course the museums and libraries are filled with opportunities to incorporate math and science.[/quote]
