Kids In The Kitchen
Cooking with your children is one of the best hands-on lessons in fractions you will find anywhere. Have them double a recipe or cut a recipe in half and there you have it. Fractions made easy! We were in the kitchen a lot when I was homeschooling my kids.

I have Kids In The Kitchen up for auction right now.
This 1996 copyright soft cover spiral bound book is in excellent condition.

Included in this cook book are recipes for library paste, clay, homemade "plastic", flubber, silly putty, crystal garden, etc... the list goes on!

By the way, I haven't had any takers on the National Geographic magazine with a photo essay of the Amish in Lancaster County by Jerry Irwin. If you want it, it's yours free. It's a beautiful photo essay with a great article and a lot of photos. Leave a message here or send me that email. I promise to not share you email address or spam it ever. Thanks!

I love - love - LOVE the Straight Forward Math Series! Mastery of the basic facts is key to success in advanced math.

A simple, straightforward approach to learning mathematical operations. The series is systematic, first diagnosing skill levels, then practice, periodic review, and testing.
Builds new math skills and enriches existing ones. It is ideal for one student or many. Progression through a particular math skill is thorough and complete.

Mastery of basic math facts with the series provides success for subsequent math skills. The advanced series begins where the first level left off.

I have Straight Forward Math Series, Subtraction and Advanced Subtraction for sale at a very reasonable price for new workbooks.

I also have a few other math workbooks in my store.
