Kids don't have to complete endless, boring worksheets to learn math! The activities in this book are fun, creative, and very effective at demonstrating all the math concepts from Kindergarten through 8th grade. Make bean sticks to learn about tens and hundreds. Make sugar cube buildings to practice geometry. Go on a chocolate chip hunt and graph the results. Go outside and use chalk to draw a giant number line, or take a power number walk! I highly recommend this book for teachers, homeschoolers, or parents who just want to prove to their kids that learning math can be fun.
